A small pebble of grief lodges into my skin Splintering it, not yet cracked A waft of sadness floats upon the splinter Cracking my being Working it's way from my chest, up to my neck, my face, my head Down my stomach, my legs, my feet My arms, my hands Spidering it's way over my body As though I am a marble statue hit with the mason's hammer From this I shatter into pieces Unrecognizable I spew into the air My sobs carry myself with the four winds I shall never be whole again
