The Flyaways -poem forThe Mag









Metal fingers outstretching
Over the pompous,
Inflated dome- head
Talons out, skull crunching
Machines to whirring work
Spilling yards of words,
And letters,
Scrambling, like scarab beetles
Out of the dark recesses
Of the ink dripping
Walls crying,
“Good luck in your new job”
Before rising into the dusty air
Fluttering out in the wind
On parched white papery wings!

poem by Zafaran for The Mag 154
