Stuck
By Ella Brown
I walked across
the rain soaked valleys
and trees struck by God’s wrath.
Like branches,
I reached my arms out to the sky
and just for a moment
brought heaven into the palms of my hand.
Time passed through me,
stealing away homes and flicking at mountains,
ripping apart the sky,
but I did not sway.
My headful of ideas,
genius trapped and rotten,
I want to circle the globe,
and play with asteroids.
I want a picnic in the Milky Way,
and a party in the galaxy.
But I settle for less,
only passing through the islands,
toward golden bridges that never saw my storm.
yet I did not sway,
I did not grow.
and I’m still stuck.
