Sentimental fly
I see myself reflected in your wings
sentimental fly
They split into
pastel coloured memories of childhood
I cut myself with your fragments
sentimental fly
bleeding toes
are familiar worlds of fairy tales
I lie awake within your dreams,
sentimental fly
your humming is a cord
between the unknown depths of the ocean
and the uppermost layers of heaven
My mask is a refraction
sentimental fly
reflected in its own wings
of pastel coloured memories
