Wings of My Ancestors

Bare chested creature with green wings attached

Born with these engrained. A depth deeper than the living.

The creature is now shown from behind. Their exposed back displays the layers of green and yellow wing-bone structures embedded under the skin, as if part of their spine.

Lifted always by my wings. Weaved into me without choice

Zoomed out, the clothed creature faces forward with a calm, closed-eye expression. Swirling green and yellow eyes stretch from their wings hovering around them, like watchful eyes, drifting in close as if whispering something only they can hear.

Creeping in the corner of my eye. You lurk.

Zoomed out further, the creature is smiling softly with both hands holding their stomach. Large green and yellow wings spread outward behind them in full form. They stand in full embodiment of a blue long-sleeve shirt and a short, tattered skirt.

Giving awareness without initiation. Together we will rise.
