Breaking February

The day is filled with cracks, 
     that spills into the evening
s h a t t e r e d   eggshells 
                  that can't be beared to be buried,
only placed carefully with the dried leaves...


A dog's fractured leg piercing the night air—
a heart, 
that still crumbles, since it remembers
...fragmented windows that still spill tears

Nikko, I found your short rambling very interesting. How we can be stuck on the same thoughts a whole year later!! Sure wish I had seen you in the states. and I enjoyed finding this new poem of yours here today.
