don't wait for me

© 1999 by Annette c. Boehm

you made for me
origami unicorns
that was magic

you sent me
airplane tickets for wings
that was invitation

you awaited me
with gold necklaces
that was capture

you left me
in a world without doors
only blinding colours

and with all these chains
unattended i drowned
myself in the seas -

you made for me
origami unicorns
sang every single sea

to dissolve:
become weaker
and disappear
