Poems
May 2018
Tin Man
Metal
Or steal
Aluminum
Or tin
No longer coated with silver
I remember I use to shine
But now I’m covered in rust
And invaded by the weeds of the earth
Frozen in place
Can’t move my face
Dreams of me stretching out my limbs
But cursed never to move
I pray to the sun
And scream at the moon
I’m cold to the touch
Inside, an empty shell
Press your ear against my tin frame
Knocked on my chest
Echos is all you’ll hear
Peak into my rotted holes
No heart would appear
