Mass Destruction

small deadly weapon lies in wait exiled now behind closed mouth precariously perilous it lies inert as lip zipped keeper obeys fate white sheets surround her secret shame the questions left unanswered hang what drove her to this breaking point to mass destruct in silent blame © Kim van Breda—February 2014
