shattered words
broken shards scattered,
all around her still body,
soaked in blood from her
knees and palms.
the cold concrete calmed
her racing heart.
all the sharp pieces
cut her beyond the skin,
deeper to the core of her being,
where the screams could be heard
by Algea herself from the skies
farther than the universe itself.
every piece of broken glass
carried fragments of her poetry
and every drop of blood
made trails of wasted breaths
on potential lost
in faces of strangers with
a floating essence
of familiarity.
