paper burns/tears/folds too easy MAG
June 30, 2022
paper kids in our make-believe paper town:
still dreaming as our city burned down
we were made of i love you’s that weren’t
made to last;
our origami hearts left torn
all too fast
we folded our airplanes and parted
our ways,
turned the next page from our
melancholic days.
