The Poem Flying Inside Your Own Body by Margaret Atwood

 Poem-Flying Inside Your Own Body

 

Poem

Your lungs fill and spread themselves,

 
wings of pink blood, and your bones

empity themselves and become hallow.

when you take in you-ll lift like a baloon

and your heart is light too and huge,

beating with pure joy, pure helium.

The sun-s white winds blow through you,

you see the the earth nowas an 

oval jewal,

radiant and sea blue with love

it is only in dreams you can do this 

Waking, your heart is a shaken fist,

a fine dust clogs  the air you breath in;

the sun is hot copper weight 

press straight

down on the think pink rind of

your skull.

It is always the moment just 

 before gunfire.

You can try and try to rise but you 

can not.
