nothing is all

everything falls in
jigsaw fragments
the pieces not enough
to fill in
the pained spaces
that now pile up
in the center


like a tattered broom
every sweep of
my life
is another last straw
dead in the corner
of an empty room


bent low
to collect what's left
discarding the pieces
of me
no one will see


the trashcan fills up
this way
like junkyards
and prisons
and graveyards
and everything else


everything
but my heart

Alexandre,

I felt this one, because I've felt this way, many times. Excellent emotive poetry.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Heavy (old sixties phrase, don't you know?) implications are implied herein this piece. I really liked the metaphor of the tattered broom, sharp thinking and describes your thinking completely. Glad I got to check this out before bedtime.
