All My Paper Towers Are Not Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

All My Paper Towers Are Not

all my paper towers are not
gleaming in the sun
and the sketches for the

castle are too incomplete


and I just sigh when I

look at the pinprick
stars glittering

in the sweet blank sky above

the cardboard forest

but someday the inhabitants

will return;

the pink-tissue buds unfolding

under a foiled moon
