The Birds of Heaven

-Siham Sarawat

Flapping wings
freely and merrily,
a distant dream
and surely, uncertain.

Kisses of bullets
chase off
down the road
and even at home.

Future buried in ashes,
as the Phantom Figures roam around.

Lying at the steps of death
not knowing what fate has to offer,
stumbling into Darkness.

Thus, is the story of
the birds of Heaven.
