A Swell About to Burst
By Adina Rosenthal

It's not often I feel this way.
There were so many promises
so many disappointments.
The lies and deceit that deflated
a balloon trying to soar through the clouds
only to be drowned by a deluge of
tears. I feel something wet upon my cheeks.
I think it's the rain.
It washes over me.
The balloon pops.
And I am
floating.
