Clipped Wings Poem by Jennifer Cahill

Clipped Wings

Rating: 5.0


After the sun bleeds colors
into the sky the white stars
are scattered like diamonds thrown
across the violet black night.

The edge of dawn is a thread
of light expanding
and spilling like smooth thick cream.
I am the moth drawn to the fading

shine of the streetlamp.

Hovering and circling
until the glow disappears.
And even the quick flutter
Of my wings cannot lift me.
