PAPER

Birth Certificate

Kindergarten coloring books

4th grade text books

teenage love letters

News paper articles

Spinning papers in the attic void

treaties broken

3 ring binders full of battleship specs

A faithful letting go from the Eagles grasp

and you can fly

leather boots on hostile soil

open the mailbox

hoping for just one more letter.

3000 poems

3000  handwritten poems

like Ani said

weathered worn

revealed from kept shoeboxes

suspended in void

against bright blue sky 

resembling two towers

arranged like marching soldiers

suddenly rage downward

into the fire
