Broken Shut

He broke shut.
Not open.
Breaking open
Would mean he
Spilled out
Everywhere.
But he didn't.
He broke shut.
It all stayed
Inside.
Not open.
Never open.
He couldn't
Open up.
If he ever opened,
He opened shut.
Shut.
He broke shut.
He lived
In the past.
The future
Didn't exist.
But his past
Was shut.
He used to try.
Try to time travel.
To live
In the present.
To live at all.
To live open.
But he dies
Broken shut.
