QUESTION
did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

ANSWER
yes. my wings decayed. 
i clutched at star systems to slow the fall 
and the burns still smoulder, faint shadows of feathers seared 
into bleeding skin. this is pain? i don’t like it. i want to go back.
this aching… this is aching? why are my hands shaking?
