Third Edit: Lost Dreams

[burrealist]

Hi. I like the reference to the maggots (or what I assume to be). The contrast between two creatures that fly (from birds to bugs) is so wide-range, I love it. The power is in the body of the poem- so the introduction could be just as, or more powerful. 

Good work!

Lost Dream

what has happened to our hope?

did it try to migrate south
for winter
on a broken wing?

or did it burrow
deep into rotten meat
only to hatch anew?

perhaps it’s not even lost
staying silent
and unnoticed as a shadow
