safety pins
together they clung
together they hung
from a weathered
from a weathered
piece of string
that stretched from
the tree
(a lowly branch)
to the high moon
(a lowly branch)
to the high moon
glinting silver
a thin line of metal strewn
upward to the heavens
safety pins,
flimsy and closed
flimsy and closed
made up a labyrinth
of lunar shine
on secret nights, the trail blinds
human eyes
on secret nights, the trail blinds
human eyes
