Myriam

Paper boats across my knees, don’t rob the child, can't you let us be, when you bring your news, fury in your smile, say it's not only you, tamed, broken, ill at ease, I ignore all the signs, that make you believe, I have to lose, a power beyond my sign, the Court claims the virtue, sheds it reasons, whispered prayers at night, like leaves from a tree, want no part of you, nor your heaven's insight, lawyers on golden avenues, before you leave me reeling, I beg one more time, don't try to stop me screaming, a life will end tonight,
