emc poetry

Locked in, trapped

golden edges, encapsulated

sadness, madness, ensnared.

The craziness in the birdcage

pinned her down into

endless delusions, enraged

by the mad rue.

She cracked, snapped

her soul into pieces

on display, sealed.

Company of one in a birdcage

witness to her delirious deceptions

and foolish failures…

Locked away, on replay.
