Her bleached bones
are worn with worry
as she runs her fingers
through her tangled hair
She's sick of wondering what he's up to but when she questions
he throws a glass plate
when she tells him she's leaving
it shatters above her head
and it sparkles a beautiful death
as the remains of the dishware
fall to the floor
He grabs her arm
begs her to stay
tossing her head
she's screaming "No Way."
breaking free with a new strength
the once trapped bird
is now Freedom Bound.
