So tall
like a balloon
only withheld
by
its long string.
Let fly
high
above the rest
soaring.
So very high...
Deflation.
Burst
like a bubble
without air.
Jagged pieces
limp rubber *****
flop
downward
lifeless.
String
cumbersome
tangled
caught somewhere
between sky
and rock bottom.
Suspended pieces
never touch the ground.
Air
cannot be contained.
Freedom at last.
