It takes a lot of time
Not to step on a crack,
And break a mothers’ back.
Much less time
To break it.
It takes a lot of time
To watch the wing jerks of butterflies,
Without disrupting wing’s ethereal dust.
Much less time
Than to crush it.
It takes a lot of time
To break the back of freedom,
But it happens, all the time.
Much less times
Than to filter it…
