"Paper Toys"

Be careful what you step on
It might just be my heart
Some wounds have no recovery
no place from which to start.

The box, packed with tiny ribbons
you made sure they did not get lost.
You flatter me...
to think that much of me
to handle them with such care.

I thank you for the cobwebs
and the way that they were groomed.
I know I should be grateful
that someone heard the loon.

I was greeted by a pattern
set in place so many days ago
I tried to reconstruct my thoughts
and make them not my home.
I stand erect and look from side to side
It seems I've made a prisoner of my thoughts
sad day of untidy means and sighs.

I thank you for the cobwebs though.
Through all the rubble
that may have gone unnoticed
and yet...
It's not as if you could not possibly understand
what to me
was so obviously bemoaned.

I was a little girl
paper dolls in hand
Making paper do
what others
could not possibly understand.
I suppose I should close the box
vacant, without the ribbons
that seemed to have been tossed.
Scold my attitude
and measures of the loss.
I know I should be grateful
for the memories held fast
but oh...
all the beautiful colors
when clipped
could never last.
