Walking Away - For Contest

WALKING AWAY – for contest


Velcro attachments
			
			tear at my heart
						fibers ripping
	
	individually,

				separating

		
			without knowledge
					

							without cause

….tortured	
			
			by the pain

					
						of reason’s doubt


							w a l k I n g

								………..	a w a y
