seashelllz:

born and breathing

clouds and needles, feeding

feeble minds and mouths

we start to flutter, birth

each other, bleed

the steeple, tear

the feathers, glisten

stinging blue in ripples

dimed decisions blessed

like people, eating wafers

worn through papers

wined and dined and

paired with teachers

will it be, this time,

enough

smiling extra for pennies

proving we are small

but

tough.
