poem and painting: mary anne zammit
Attempt
If you come again
And look that way at me,
If you come to play with my heart
To steal my innocence.
One second is enough to halt that fierceness
Inside you.
Still I will let you see the woman I have become
Since your last attempt.
To see the freedom in the eyes of the bird, you did not manage to steal away.
