I am

Clytemnestra Aa
Sep 28 2015 (c)



a letter 
delivered to your door.
Dazzled 
by its bestowed beauty 
Bewitched 
by its wafted perfume ,
You kept it 
though it wasn't yours
All a mistake ! 
Delivered to wrong address 
Weirdly, you didn't open it .
You never knew 
what lied inside .
You just pinned it 
in your office.
Bragged in front of friends 
and acquaintances 
that you own it.
Years passed 
and it was still 
hugging the wall 
of your office.
However, the pin got loose 
, so the letter fell .
Heedlessly , you stepped on it 
soiled it ..
Recklessly, you tore it into pieces 
and flung it off the window 
where its pieces rested 
on the ledge 
for rain to oversoak it 
till it lost identity 
for wind to blow 
its remnants away
One day,
a bird found those pieces 
picked them up 
to fill a peg 
in his vulnerable nest !
