Escape attempt (a poem)

2015/03/27 Kevin J. O'Conner

Long day yesterday, so I ended up with just a few short poems. The red balloon is still hiding beneath the skylight waiting for gravity to pull it down And yes, that time will come sooner than you think Its sunken shell and wrinkled skin falling gently to the ground (26 March 2015—posted March 27)
