A Broken Heart

a broken heart

you search
for metaphor
to begin with
collins?

yes, you got
it
a broken
wing

it cannot fly
but i prefer
a wing
clipped
like paper

or a wind
without wings

or a wing
without
the wind

or wingless winds
or windless
wings

the point
is
one can always be right
for as long
as one feels
for as long
as one
still writes
for as long as one still attempts to write what one feels
and feels what he writes for as long as longing still longs

a broken wing
can always be a broken heart

a metaphor to always begin with
