Blindly walking
The unseen road,
In the view of all.
Old memories linger
Scars and bruises
That world was too good for her.
A fetus
Cast out from her womb
As a rat
Caught in the mouse’s trap.

In the light she falters
Darkness by her side.

dusty, depressing and a road nobody wants to travel.

Well done

Shyte, I hate (love) poems that bring it home. Good one.

I was left wanting more, but that is (for me) often the mark of a good poem, the old adage about there being "writer's work" and "reader's work" and I respect and value the poet who does his or her work, and no more than that, and leaves me in the position where I feel the need to fill in/feel/intuit what has been implied but not spelled out.

This makes me want to hold someone's hand. Short, but heavy - very nice, Kev.
