I thought we were made of stronger stuff
Spiderweb strands or folded steel
But when we were tested by
All manner of hard things
I learnt that we were
Made up of just
Paper and
Fraying
Strings

Oooh, love the imagery and diction choice in this nonet! Gosh, so many creative pieces!! <3
Haunting! The resignation at the end is perfect!
Ohh 🥹 Paper and fraying strings… what an ending! Especially after introducing the delicate metaphor of the spiderweb strands at the beginning. I think this is an exceptional nonet.. well done 👌🙏🏻😇💜
