A Poem a Day (161): Fracture


Fracture

A jagged point
Lodged in deep,
A split in skin.
Blood flowers.

This historic bruise
Buries in deep,
Seeking to fester.
Pain spirals out.

A wound to remind
Of broken hearts,
Their spiky roots
Winding into you.

Fires fan flames,
Chasing justice.
Ashes lost voices
As sirens wail.
