Broken bones
of weak kneed boys scattered
in eyes of great empires.
Exploring forbidden roman ruins
sacred grounds of turmoil history.
Going to bed won't be easy
if I cause another casualty.
Words of my mother explain
for the fallen cathedrals.
Expectations were too grand
and so they crumbled.
Steps should be
calculated and careful.
My words should be
soft spoken,
to blanket heads in flowers;
she instructed.
My heavy footsteps are
to blame for fallen bricks.
My words, bees
that sting from passion wings.
As I explore broken bones
of the weak kneed boy sanctioned
in fallen empire sleep.
