A Broken Home
Bamboo shoots ripped out
razor blade cuts bled
broken limbs
limping amid public intoxicant fear
nights traveled to uninhabitatated lands
white blossoms marking the hills
was I lost?
a prisoner to pain
surrendering unto sunrise
where toes dip in the sand
with no seas
no breeze
bloodshot eyes begging a need
greed dispersing another seed
grackle fed
upon the remains I'm led
this box heavy
am I already dead?
broken without a home
decaying
only a mind still roams
razor blade cuts bled
broken limbs
limping amid public intoxicant fear
nights traveled to uninhabitatated lands
white blossoms marking the hills
was I lost?
a prisoner to pain
surrendering unto sunrise
where toes dip in the sand
with no seas
no breeze
bloodshot eyes begging a need
greed dispersing another seed
grackle fed
upon the remains I'm led
this box heavy
am I already dead?
broken without a home
decaying
only a mind still roams

I've always felt that as long as we're still moving we aren't completely broken. Fractured, but still more or less intact. This one aches, Tim. Thank you for bringing it to the comp

Reminds of the ancient art of Kintsugi where our fractures are filled with gold and we become that much more beautiful. I'm happy to be inspired by your contest Willow, thank you.
