her screeches echo up to the sky
her tears are made of starlight
the summer rain never reaches her lips
she's never felt the sunlight

she will never feel the wind
or walk barefoot on grass
her eyes are made of candle wax
her heart is made of glass

she can only imagine the earth's delights
never see or feel or hear them
she sits inside a cabinet
and longs for long-lost freedom
