A look at possibilities.
Fair Verona
with greasy hair
climbs the steps
to her apartment.

The bottom
cuffs of her jeans
drag threads
along the bare carpet.

Her key glitters
against her bitten nails
as she turns it
in the lock.

She goes
inside
then walks with bare feet
to the window.

The street watches her
as she flexes her wing nubs
and steps
out on the ledge to fly.
