Broken Link
February 1, 2019
Rusty red
Chain link fence
Broken,
But bridled no more
Opaque azure
Spills through
Holes where tension built
And screamed open
This chain link fence.
There's a sunrise
Between
The perpetual sunsets
There was no bludgeoning,
Neither
Some otherworldly beckoning.
Dragonflies of yonder
Make haven
In the metal jutting out
Grotesque,broken
Lest it is a monotony well-kempt.
It's a dichotomy
Being shiny
Being naught
But on a rainy day
Of dripping silver
I'd be the hole
Raindrops won't cling to
I'll be the broken link
You climb in through.
