broken (i)

August 5, 2019 by Michael Guerin

some things crack —
glass. a walnut.
your voice.
other “things” get broken —
a heart. the will.
one’s spirit.

just the other side
of a thin hotel wall
a child wails
for his mother to stop
shouting (or start
loving him).

doors slam shut.
cloaked in darkness
(with nowhere
left to go) i feel lost
through another
broken night.
