long ago I wrote it

too scared to publish, but now...


Shattered

I feel

cut
broken
split
torn
ravaged

a book with its
pages ripped out and
fluttering across the silent lawn


my soul is

shredded
unraveling
moaning
sorrowful
alone

a bruised puppy stuck
behind an alley dumpster with
big sad eyes and one leg missing


his eyes are

smoldering
haughty
exulting
triumphant
cruel

a little boy with a
slingshot crushing a wingless
butterfly under the heel of his boot
