brokens

The plural of broken
In whispered beats
And chambered red
Wallpapered last words
Burnt quaking walls
Calcium edges bleeding shards
¤
All those mornings
Frost on the inside windows
That empty space between sheets
Stoking a fire made bitter cold
Knotted silences
Sky brewed
Every drop sadder than before
¤
Simply every night
Her wrists wrung dry
Waiting for the fill
Her fragile shell
Breaking
More than once
