Fall Unto
FALL UNTO
A smile in a mirror
Cracked!
Swallowed in shadow.
Haunted by violent secrets and fears
Fact forms from our fictions
Hollowly grow gray
Heal broken back
Silent grievance unsoothed tears
A turmoil fault – a symptom in form of an addiction
Temptation fought day after day
Turning from red to pink, orange to yellow
Blue to green And violet to purple
Like a sunrise
An exercise of an entire spectrum
Barely seen
It took nearly ten years
This poem now complete.
It denies defeat, and claims no victim.
Ending a promising career.
