Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHI JKLAMN

When I was young the silkA
of my mindB
hard as a peony headC
unfurledD
and wind bloomed the parachuteE
-
The air head tugged meF
upG
tore my roots loose and droveH
high so highI
-
I want to touch down nowJ
and taste the groundK
I want to take inL
my silkA
and ask where I amM
before it is too late to knowN
