Photograph of…

Human eyes/Caged despair and ticket stubs/Many things can be wrong and more all at once/Something was made to hang/Between two windows/To gather dust/And be the object of the piece of writing that isn’t much anyway/Many things can be human/Reflected by a wall of glass/An animal became human/A girl became a caged animal/Both are lonelier than […]
