Frantically fluttering failing to fly
stunted Sparrows spin and spin
dirty wind from wounded wings
scrub cracked sidewalks
Dazed she drifts in a dark dream
drenched in detached sorrow
lost in cracked reality
her fragile heart faintly flutters
Fearful eyes focus on her feet
don't step on a crack NO DO NOT!
afraid she will trip and not come back
like broken mirrors seven years bad luck
Slooow step by slow step avoiding cracks
moving forward but going no where
dodging the spinning Sparrows
scrubbing the sidewalk with wounded wings
Spinning Sparrows sweep and weep
sweeping sidewalks with stunted wings
weeping sweeping never sleeping
covering all the dirty cracks
Frantically fluttering stunted Sparrows
spin around her faltering feet
she finally tripped and fell and fell
fell in a crack can't ever find her way back...
