Whispers

any, any,

things the wings do

• hunch over your shoulders when you’re scared

• cocoon around your upper body when you’re cold or needing some snuggling

• fan out in a nice big stretch when you first wake up, trying to touch the ceiling or wall

• raise over your head like an umbrella when it’s raining to keep you dry

• settle on your back when you’re relaxed

• spread to reveal all those soft downy feathers when you’re with someone you love and trust

• fluff up to twice your size when you’re angry

• do some panicky FLAP FLAP FLAP when you lose your balance

• stretch out like you’re flying as soon as you get faster than 40 mph

• hang off the side of the bed when you’re sleeping because they’re just too big
