Sarah Daly

Paper Dolls

siphon grief’s passion, flatten thoughts

and feelings until narratives are linked

hand and hand, traced on pink construction

paper creased and bent from so many

fingers, and forget the love and war

that plagues us in these times of suffering

in the mad, distressed, and muffled planet
