Vulnerable

Written: July 17th, 2008

She stares outside her window
Moonlight cascades the stage

The characters take their place

And she is the leading lady,

Sentenced to her window

 

An act established before an audience

Stimulates a crowd of just one

Just one shining star full of moons,

Just one absent piece to her crypt

 

Sphynxlike thoughts corrupt her mind

A resolution still to be contrived

 

She places her hand upon the cold, transparent barrier

Pressing with the emphatic force of hope

An eruption of sparkling confetti

Lavishes her characters in it's rain

 

She is finally notorious in a story she wrote

Valiant of what the end might bring.
