Posts To The Wire

 

Ropes and chains flutter

And bars bend

In the breeze of imagination.

You rise

And water rises with you.

You breathe constancy

And the earth

Revolves beneath you.

You break the bread

Of humanity

And the earth is replete.

 

You. Forever out of reach

Are grasped by the snares of desire.

 

Tethered to thoughts

Like fence posts to the wire.

◄ A short poem for a girl who lived for only 50 minutes
