Cynosure

C-Caged within the Confines

Confined amid these steel bars

With a pen and paper for camaraderie

Engineering ways to break the rails

That slaughtered all chances of living

As she writes her Poetry;

A bird

With torn wings

Comes to life

Lending her a feather

A wonder woman

In disguise

To take her away

From her past

But she refuses

To haul the roots

Binding her

To the past

Where the destroyed remains

Of her home

Linger

When he

Writes his own Poetry;

Killing himself in the process

Of deracinating

From his past

They both

Happened

To share.
