running through
neither dwelling in
nor fleeing by
wings with shallow draft

So, what’s your destination, MattWriks? I can relate to that unsettled feeling, of trying to find a place. “Shallow draft” implies you think you are close to finding a perch?

Maybe my word use is wrong, but my intent was to allude to a bird who’s plumage doesn’t draw a very deep pull in the wind. So, despite the good intent of not becoming stuck, it is unclear whether the power necessary to extract one’s self from the situation with any amount of grace is available.
