Popular titles that say nothing in saying it all


Unfinished is one of those
like
Broken
or Damaged
or Shadow

And how about
Night,
Darkness, even

Where the moon prays on the damned

But shouldn’t it be:
Damned be all,
if we are ever to overcome
such Tragedy
of being
just who we are

Foolish,
Destined
Mortals

Wearing our claims like a malady;
splendidly weary and trodden


A literary life

Or travesty?

A property of margins



From that tender spot of silence
I can move
Where I thought I was too bruised
I can wander now
Anywhere I want
And see my failure
As just a little flaw
No longer insurmountable, too raw
Very soon another scar
Turns me into whom I am
