Dismemberment Via Snowflakes
June 13, 2015
Snow
Spotless; white
As young as a newborn child; as clean as well-washed china plates
A car
Driving fast and stupid; two teenagers who don’t know what they’re doing
Snow
Speckled with red; freckled with regret
No longer perfect and untouched
Now drenched with the shimmer of crimson; the shine of no more tomorrows
Shape-shifted souls; are lifted away.

Dismemberment Via Snowflakes is a haunting poem about
how you can make bad decisions that you immediately regret.The snow is the symbol for the fragile life we live, and the car crash symbolizes the decision that can destroy your life.
