Wrought & Found

 
Original poems and found images.

~by Mia Sara

Expectation

Let me carry,
just once more,
the promise
of nothing. Love,

the impossible
orphan. False Labor
bearing false fruit.
Only trust is lost.

Doppelganger,
like the stolen child,
and the taste of wax.
The first bite

of pie, I’ve shaped,
and baked, then
kept too long
refrigerated.

Always the same, and
never less terrible.
How it has spoiled,
wasted, all the sap of me.
