Literature Text

You had a butterfly ribcage,
Standing out, proud and lost.
So I painted you;
Crimson and gold,
Bright and black.
With filigree spreading,
Over battered lungs.

I pulled at each,
Skeletal wing,
Bone and acrylic,
And paper soft skin.
With each little tear,
I ripped from within,
The fluttering wings,
Once trapped in your cage.

So the song bird sings,
All crimson and gold, bright and black.
Mocking each and every one, Of your sins.
You had a butterfly ribcage, I couldn't bare to pull apart.
