A Poem a Day (94): Paper people

Paper people

Pieces of a life,

Of a person,

Walking in parts,

A cut-out kind of thing;

Words, pictures, phrases

Spun as in a dance,

And so we begin

To wander in,

Trying on the sounds,

Fumbling with expressions,

Colours ripped and bodied,

Rainbows cut adrift,

Parting, so revealing

A life in parts,

Dismembered, remembered.
