for Jade, and for Pebble
in this envelope
is a pair of wings
for youself assembling, self-affixing
no instructions neededdo not be deterred
by their appearance of fragility
they are guaranteed
for eternityall you need do
is believe me
close your eyes
hold out your arms
(in welcome, you understand)and take off
