Box of Scars
Box Of Scars
(A work in progress)
There is a piece that will not fit, that I have kept locked in the deepest chambers of my soul.
There it has remained, not nearly forgotten, for years.
Decades.
Centuries
Eons.
A painful piece with perfect edges that cut clean through most everything it touches with a brilliant light. A light so sharp and so dazzling that it can only be contained by the damaged tissue created from whence it first emerged.
A box made of scars, hiding the shadows of potentiality.
The piece has a name. It is known, but not uttered. It is seen, but not gazed upon. It is heard, but not listened to. It is felt, but not held.
It has a time, but it is not now.
