Or: Attachment Styles

---

Cut loose from the gallows
The formerly hanged man
Now a pointlessly crumpled heap
Might just as well have been

A red balloon
Once clutched by a little girl
Who for a momentary lifetime
Cherished this balloon
Now set free 
By a moment’s lapse of attention

When she remembers 
She will cry, she will grieve
Which is more than we can expect of the gallows.
