Seeking Captivity
Location
Shutters forced open
To the vast unknown
By a pair of outspread wings.
She shimmers in the night
In all her breathtaking glory
Racing away from her only comfort.
She won’t come back,
Tired of the genuine,
She seeks the distortional.
Finding what her body seeks
She catches in their deadly trap,
Their shutters locked tight behind her.
She doesn’t notice their wicked smiles
Their evil intentions,
Their greed for her life.
She has come to rest
Before her deadly fate,
Ignoring her dying self.
She doesn’t even notice
The latch on the window.
No, she doesn’t even notice
The call of her past.
No, she doesn’t even notice
The distortion she presides in.
