"Paper Wings"  Written By DeeDee Shrogin

Like a thousand stars
All shining down on me
Eyes entranced and fixed
Trying to penetrate and be
Circling like the wolves
Tangeled fingers poking holes
Seeping like the seives
Words falling sharp and growing dull
Telling of your plan
How to fix this broken me
Yelling, shouting hands
Taking all that makes me free
Screaming silent gestures
Empty are your words
Whispers to my shouts
I break the walls that you lord
Taking back the sharpened tongue
That you pretend to hold
Hanging from the highest rung
I throw it hard and watch it fold
I spread my wings of paper
And I go.
