Our mouths tasted metallic
As we struggled to chew
the bolded italics

That lay scattered on this page:
An inescapable cage.

Our hands were clasped tightly
As we thought concisely

About this moment,
This atonement.

I thought of our past,
And realized that this was our final act.

This is a finalist for the June 2022 Poetry Contest!

 

I have found solace and comfort in the friendships I have formed over the course of my life, and I wanted to illustrate how thankful and appreciative I am for the friends and people who have supported me along the way. This is for you.
