Brother of Straw

By lupus tenebrae

 




From a fatal flaw
come my friend of straw
as we sail the great divide.
Whittled out of place
with a paper face
and it’s altered for the ride.

Down the current stream
of a simple dream
to taste beyond the sunset.
Senses peak to see
paper flying free,
alas, so ends the duet.
