How I Learned To Fly

By Joseph Bouthiette, Jr.

Maybe I’m losing weight, or maybe I’m losing my sense of the ground.

I’m stretching with the corn pounded into the wheat, a crop circle I’m levitating a leviathan over.

I’m a steady diet of atmosphere, blue sky bones to lift.

I’m a sheep to my gravity’s shepherd.

I pray.

And the continents follow suit.

Joseph Bouthiette Jr. is a prosperous and preposterous young craftsman of the atmospheric and horrific. He is a regular writer for Dynatox Ministries, including a short story collection and several upcoming anthologies, as both editor and contributor. When not writing, Joe creates music under the name Vehemoth and is an avid board gamer.
