Description
she bent, over, spine bowed; kinkedto ensure, to see
the ground she walked upon
could support her
tree
long, the rise, a trunk, arms
open; terpsichorean
the sky she longed for
above one risky, gamboling
leaf
structure, sound; not crisp
the streets, the tweets
avian songs and flights
so swift, though light-like falling
feather
sweet, smooth; soundless
strong enough to die
she repeats, the bending from
sky, to ground beneath, to sky

Excellent use of language, particularly the repetition of the letter s in the last stanza.
It makes this poem seem both saccharine and sinister. Well done.

reminds me of my current favourite-word-ever, frondescence.
and this poem, just as sharp and lovely as all our favorite words.
