Fragments

“Vow to Wreck”

Break a bone
Break a vow
Vow to forget
Vow to collect
Collect memories
Collect fragments
Fragments of me
Fragments of rage
Rage of daylight
Rage of the night
Night before
Night of the war
War for redemption
War for cure
Cure from love
Cure for ligaments
Ligaments broken
Ligaments sewn
Sewn in denial
Sewn with the trial
Trial of remorse
Trial and loss
Loss of a spouse
Loss is a house
House without rafter
House bereft of laughter
Laughter that came after
Laughter that struck
Struck a chord
Struck a word
Word never uttered
Word that we mutter
Mutter out of fear
Mutter like we care
Care that hangs emotions
Care for no notion good
Good is not salvation
Good as bad persuasion
Persuasion that frees
Persuasion and plea
Plea to jettison
Plea for release
Release that eases
Release from ruins
Ruins that ruins
Ruins of wreck
Wreck we recover
Wreck we wrestle
Recover..
Wrestle…
