traceries





we are
the whitewashed.

fill our eyes
with your guilty fears,
empty tears for
invisible children –
a child
is not a snapshot.

but we are.

there are
decades beneath us,
waiting
for the fall, there
are endless forever glimpses
frozen,

still &
limbless, voiceless,
heavy with the glut
of weightless
freedoms.

like helium balloons
left to drift.









Please tell me what you think

    Very deep and powerful write. I especially like the line
    "a child is not a snapshot"...it says so much. Good luck in the contest.
