The Wheelchair by Devi Nina Bingham


So odd,

a chair with wheels.

So odd, 

a cripple with wings.

How does unbounded creativity

flow like water rushing from a barren field.

How does beauty the color of vibrant Spring 

push its way past decay?

Until black death sucked me away,

drowning me in pure spite,

in bitter resignation to a hope run dry.

The wheelchair was my captor

and my only friend,

for it never left me.

So odd

that a girl so full of life

would be thankful for a metal best friend.
