Wicker Monkey
As the twilight starts its dance with the shadows,
My limbs silently break from their tin man sentencing.
Hanging from the ceiling in ornamentation,
Only to be ignored. That is,
Until everyone goes to bed.
I'm in the child's room overlooking the balcony.
Just before he goes to sleep
He lays there staring. Paralyzed.
For he knows I am alive.
As the shadows creep further
Through the windows my body
Becomes the more freer.
He thinks I can't leave my perch..
I wait until his eyes are closed.
It never takes long.
Just wait for that little pulse of his to stop galloping.
