Bluebirds and Moths.

By Pride Ed

I loved how hollow the nights were after I crucified them to my walls.

I sing to them when I tap the glass, 
my fingerprints smiling on the dust that reminds me of their empty shells. 
How many times have I touched their caskets?

My shadowboxes of happiness.

    Thanks! My mind juggled between adding a bluebird instead of a raven or crow, but "shadowboxes of happiness" let me do just that. lol
