Paper plane 5: We/and...lullaby plane [Geraldine Burke]

­­­We/and-----lullaby plane

I’m sending this gift

It’s folded

with care

A paper plane,

that carries a lullaby.

It up-beats

a slow song

and breathes

a rhythmic tempo

It captures

a stretch

that

de-stresses

the neck

And

W­­­ith it comes

an insistence,

that ̶

we are

we/and ̶

as we hold a space

for tough times

through art.
