the happy end

I am an insect, crawling

On my belly, through the muck

Broken leg and broken wings carrying me

Through this world

That’s much

Much

Too big

I try to climb the branches

Of a beautiful tree

Its leaves shaking in the wind

Howling and furious

And I fall

Fall gracelessly

Into the dirt

Where I belong
