The last night
How long
have I sat behind these walls
in the castle you built me?
These walls
made of all the finest marble
and held together
with a mortar of lies.
How come I'm still here?
Do I imagine
that a brush of Tinkerbell's wings
or a lullaby
will be enough to set this right?
I'm foolish enough.
We both know that.
But even I acknowledge
that we'll never fly again:
we're a one-winged butterfly
and I'm the only one trying.
Hi, Michelle. Great image: "a one-winged butterfly." I'll be back. And I invite you to discover my work on the NaPoWriMo 2010 page at www.gregoconnell.com - Greg =)
