Fragments of Space

split skin bleeding raw

aching for mother’s warm lap

lying six feet down

***

meadow of daisies

newlyweds share blood-stained vows

bullet through the head

***

gazing empty eyes

bat-signal etched into skin

no one to answer

***

fires ravaging

desolate ash-choked acres

forget-me-nots bloom

***

lips on tattooed skin

a society sneering

a dog wags its tail

***

bloody footprints trail

shattered glass piercing the soul

eyes fall with the night

***

a fleeting caress

moonlight plays with the curtains

stars flicker awake

Scribble Me Words
