Each Scar Tells a Story

each borderline mirror,
broken fragments,
an open edge,

each missed edge,
every cut of missed intent
calls for hands of glass

sharp for loss, for splinters,
broken pictures and edges that
form a skin of red hills

that shapes and bleeds and
cries a trail of doors and loss
and all of this and less

tells a story
