There is a rumour here
that whispers of itself
beyond these flattened
cardboard boxes
who'd forgotten
they have volume
who let the stamp
become the image
saw the rippled sea floor
but not the tides
that moved it's passage
So crane your memory
to kinder days
of primary coloured
folded poster paint
butterflies poised
to launch from the page
in rows and rows
of inkblot tests
that nobody cared
to decipher
strung and drying
like Tibetan prayer flags
quietly reminding ~
you need two wings to fly
