She Will Listen

Sometimes I wonder 
if this metal chain I hold,
Could unwind,
and free the blatantly trapped.
If It could spin them into a new frame,
Of laughing words drawn on cardboard paper,
And others cut into snowflakes.
Write these letters to her,
Form the words you can’t say out loud.
Make a promise,
One of pinky fingers, 
And she will listen.
