Branches.A Poem by Erin SheffieldCrush 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.
