How long have you been trapped in here? Most likely you’re not even a housefly. I’m opening this window for you to experience freedom. Your lifespan is brief, so live your best month. Sit in the grass, feel the breeze on your wings, know the sun, the moon. Soar wildly.

Roberta Beach Jacobson is drawn to the magic of words–poetry, puzzles, song lyrics, flash fiction, stand-up comedy. She is the editor of Cold Moon Journal.
