Tethered

Folder: 
Dedications

tethered
to a heartstring
tugging at its core
pulsating with
the incoming breeze.

 

the kite
keeps a steady momentum,
rising and falling
like a wave
through the sky.

 

it encounters
a resistance,
a violent wind 
that snaps the taut line
causing it to plummet.

 

the gust drags the kite
toward the ground
in a heap of
broken sticks
and torn paper.
