My feelings lie frozen within me, encased in an unseen and unseeable compartment. Inaccessible and inert, my feelings do not animate and enliven my existence. They are a numb, dead weight -- cold and mute.

We are butterflies
by Azadeh Azad
18-Mar-2011
Ruffled Mother-Earth
Rattles unworried islands
Obliterates lives
Vicious ocean waves
Carry more catastrophes
Jolted Japan aches.
Nuclear dust drifts
Around the panicked planet
Powerless we feel.
Pause, ponder, appraise
Did you hug someone today?
We are butterflies.
