I found you,
lying upon the pavement
so cracked and torn.
I plucked from your resting place,
unfolding your wings like butterfly.
Who were you in days of glory?
What happened to make you so empty?
Your skin so weathered with age.
Face marked with a name.
A band?
A drug?
Under your left wing a person,
a star.
Carelessness landed you here
baking in July sun.
Did he know you were left behind?
like fallen soldiers on the battlefield.
full title: Lost on the cornere of White and Boynton.

this came from something my professer sent to me to try to jog the creative juices...fucking writers block *shakes fist*

here's a revision of this. tell me what you guys think.

On the corner of White and Range

I found you,
lying upon the pavement
so cracked and torn.
I plucked from the earth,
unfolding your wings like a butterfly
about to take flight.
Who were you in days of glory
What happened to make you so empty
Your skin so weathered with age.
Carelessness landed you here
baking in July sun.
