Paper mache hearts
Origami bodies
Folded in cranes
Molded into what ought to be
Fear in flight
Wings beating endlessly
Trying to fly
To places we will never reach
Our hopes torn
Turning into scraps of vellum
Drifting down lightly
On to brittle phellem
Thoughts become calligraphy
Ever so beautiful
But antique
To remind us we are frail
In this paper mache world

To remind us we are frail
In this paper mache world
Life art hope pain paper
