Abyss

Cages

Fashioned to hold the unique

One for the 5 year old missing her mother

Another for the optimist

And yet one more for the faithless

Locked tight with keys to guard against the abyss

But the line fell and the abyss stepped in

Wreaking cages, letting in chaos

The girl, the abyss wrangled and tangled

Became a free, worn thing

Not quite whole and far more so
