I Am

[_Shannon_]

I am bottles
thrown at boxcars
just to hear them shatter,
shards scattered on the ground.

The beauty of that broken glass
grows under the full moon,
rooted next to train tracks
under wooden swings
in kudzu fields.

[PrinceMyshkin]

I love the spareness of this, the take-it-or-leave-it tone.

Both of y'all's comments..really kind of encapsulate the experience and my frame of of mind.


And edited out line was "you can't break my heart" Beauty from mayhem, indeed!
