What We Are Made Of

What we're made of?
Perhaps the
invisible obvious,
Of human
misunderstandings,
Silent and hostile
stares.
We are made of
Silence,
Silk paper and
Aniline.
The colors of mine
Country.
We are made of
Fondant,
Flavors of the
Earth, and brow
Sugar.
Fleeting desires of
Cotton candy.
Illusion, hope, and
Cardboards,
This is discolored
Full.
We are made of the
Breeze, and dream,
Of pure nothing.
We go away at night.
