“A Paper Reborn”
By: Wren Sasaki
I am a Rorschach test.
I am blotted and inked in a million ways
When you read me, I read you –
Aloud.
It would be easy to say
“I am just very tired of things”
I am just very tired of things,
These unthinkable things
I am so tired
I cannot
Name
Them.
My creator paid careful attention
To the way that I display
The things that you don’t say,
But I am happy to let you be.
I am a demon
I am a bird
I am a crying girl
In my depths,
I wish I saw more than just
Black and white.
