My last day in a small town.
Trees, their twigs and branches intertwined,
I stay,
in the middle of the street. My arms,
just like the bird’s wings.
Thinking about,
how scared I am.

I have the feeling...
that this is personal experience. I really get the feeling of a small town, a town so small that you might stand in the middle of the street for an extended period, and not have to move because of traffic. I sense the anguish of wanting to leave, to see
the rest of the world, and yet reluctance to leave the safety of the place you have grown up in, a place you are comfortable. I get the symbolism in the trees with twigs and branches intertwined, but arms like wings aching to fly. Great stuff.~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
