out of breath

paper balloon, i say, get
up, and glide towards the sun.
i shall, says redstained ball. let
me rest awhile, and i'll run
when merriment comes.

paper balloon, i say, roll
down hills, and lie on the grass.
i can't, says persimmon ball.
your happiness didn't last,
imperfectly numb.

paper balloon, i say, will
you play with me again?
i won't, says crimson ball. fill
me with laughter, not pain.
but my breath is gone
...i say.
