The Glass Wing

Wound gaping i 
 
contemplate pain 

& I pin prick feel 

poked & broken


Playing with Rocks

Hard standing on my feet

Hard reaching to the sky

But ,

Here all i do is kneel

& I know glass upon my mind

 

Simple broken windows

a tiny pop

 a glass fracture..

white and exhaling

one 3/4 inch slate gray stone

went so perfect up

and came down crack

upon my shield

shattered



(My son threw a tiny rock and broke my car windshield...the only thing left was a piece of glass that looked like wings)
