I had sound taken off my computer as I find it distracting so I have no idea how you read. But, the poem is exquisite. The feather coming back gracefully is lovely. I prefer silence to people reading.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I tried it once years ago during a poetry reading. Before it was my turn, I left. All the noise made my head hurt. There are some people with lovely voices and expression. But they are rare. I’m not saying you aren’t one of them. With no sound, I haven’t a clue. But I did so enjoy reading your poem…in silence.
Great! I love the idea of the feather taking on life. The story of our life…asking for things beyond ourselves only to be left with what we have. No more exotic land that a Woman!!

Delightful, Linda! I like your use of ellipses to show the pauses.

Thank you Frank- and I figured out how to use Soundcloud with my MAC, at last! I just added it to the post. Be gentle- my first reading.

I love your perspective- and wholly understand. Some things are better imagined in our own hearts than spoken.
