Branches.

Branches.

A Poem by Erin Sheffield

Crush the fireflys in your hands

Smear the glowing goo across your face.

Like a savage dance around

Pretend that noone can hear you sing

Underneath the the burning light of helios

you bury yourself deeper in the sand.

If you plant a kiss

Will love grow?

Its the willow tree in her backyard

The one with the rope swing that still stands.

And the day they marched for the freedom of all

Is the first day he grabbed her hand.

Like airplanes

Spread your arms out stare in the sky

Twirl until you fall

Maybe youll begin to fly

Dont move dont breathe

grab her tight

the blind cant see.
