Tammy Armstrong Poet Free verse

Duct Tape On a Windowsill

Tattered Grey -
  It bends against an unkind wind;
  An ugly thing so commonplace,
    Against a  leaky corner.
A thing so grand has never been
  So thin -
And yet it hangs;
Against the heavens weathered attempts
   To prove it wrong.
      It lasts so long -
Holds tightly, oh so tightly;
   Not squandering it’s mighty will -
 Duct tape on a windowsill.
