Trash on the Wind

A plastic bag flutters, a mockery of grace,

whipping past my face, no joy to embrace.

Caught in a fence, a tattered disgrace,

it twirls like a ghost, devoid of a place.


Laughter erupts from a child nearby,

but all I can see is the weight of the sky.

No beauty in flight, just a life unconfined,

a moment of nothing, a memory maligned.
