humans cannot fly

little did she know
that humans
cannot fly
 
she dreamt
of one day
doing just that
 
and that too
with him
 
so they left
for the cliff top
so they leapt
 
and fly they did
soaring high
over the valleys
circling for while
above the homes
they left behind
 
till they came back
hovering over
their last belongings
which they dropped
when  
they took the leap
 
those belongings
now badly out of shape
a mangled
yet entwined wreck
 
 
she was right
her dream  
was right
 
he was right  
too
that
humans cannot fly
