Cat Among the Pigeons - 2021

Page 23

Megan Denton Phoebe Sparrow I had a dream last night:

To the scared teen

I had a wife

Who wondered how painful

And two children,

Death would be;

Not a care in the world

I give the generic response:

And it was beautiful. Life gets better. To the young girl Sitting on the stairs

I can promise you that.

Listening

I can promise a light

To her parents argue;

At the end of the tunnel,

Love is real.

An end to the pain.

Trust me. And to the girl To the thirteen-year-old

Who mourns the loss

Who was scared to show her true self

Of this fictional life;

Because of what the world told her;

Dreams become reality,

You made the right choice,

For those who wait.

To be proud of yourself. Proud to let the flag fly.

One day you could have A wife And two kids. And it would be beautiful.
