Even Overkill Went Overboard
Tethers tear sideways
evangelized unwindings - the unfriending
the unbending
Chokehold goals let go
concussion-esque concessions
of the inedible sort; indiscretions
swell our balking banks
Flaky flotsam
jaded jetsam
callow cargo floats condemned
Shards shore sorely upon us
fragments
serrated
sharpened
silhouettes scream & snap
Through slices of a shattered mirror
retracting tactless
echos
back
A wintry refrain
dim demure denials
drive the abstaining
& our iced abbreviations
out to Arctic seas

Cool! I figured as much :)
Sometimes people are snarky with the phrase "unique". It's like; "😒 Interesting..."

"callow cargo floats condemned" -this makes me think of the box they carried the Ark of the Covenant in from the movie Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark
"silhouettes scream & snap
Through slices of a shattered mirror " -i'm free falling that was so good.
breaking cameos in half and cutting skin with broken glass laying on the floor.bleeding from whats been brought.
i like how cold the last stanza is
"our iced abbreviations
out to Arctic seas"
"A wintry refrain"- the snow,recurring, AtoMik winter if you will.
well penned ma'am

That's awesome!
Dirty mirror pieces that grimly reflect our grungy past, but the grime is an accurate layer on our consciences.
Thank you as always for the thoughtful feedback :)

"Flaky flotsam
jaded jetsam
callow cargo floats condemned" - my fav bit to read :-))) - this would make a good performance piece

Dude thank you! I really don't intend these subjective pieces as performance pieces usually, so that's particularly encouraging. I appreciate that man. Hope everything is well David *hug*
