Cheetah Girl & Bird Girl




Cheetah Girl said,

Speed is the way so the past won't come around--

My feet are always gone when the dust comes down.


Bird Girl said,

Feathers are desire, imagination is the air--

My bones are made of dreams, the ground of despair.


Cheetah Girl said,

No star ever born had to prove it was a star--

The night is a cheetah with its spots made of light.


Bird Girl said,

Down all of time, all the years that were or are--

Dawns are always days, even though they start as night.

  4. I'm with Cheetah girl. "My feet are always gone when the dust comes down." (At least that's the plan.)
