because when you looked at them you
exhaled,
sighing at their beauty,
and they lost their once secure place,
blown away by the sweetness of your breath.
It was then that I saw the glimmer
of one ignored by his brothers and sisters
as he fell
struggling to catch hold of the velcro plastered on the walls behind him and
as he fell
behind towering mountains, cowering in fear as the hard ground drew nearer,
he saw the frozen bodies of long forgotten flickers.
