bones
she carries
her stark
naked
beautiful
truth
folded
in finely
spun verse;
but sharp
are the
scars that
push their
way through
her fragile
layers
of words.

So the doctor said her foot
Was broken.
Yes, I like a woman tough,
But it's been two months
Since it started hurting.
Suppose few things are as
Subjective as pain.

I rub my right hand when it's
Cold. The one I crushed
Between two containers.
Crane driver was still
Drunk from breakfast;  
Suppose few things are as
Subjective as responsibility.

We're all scars. Broken bones
And bruised hearts.
Embarrasing memories and
Bitten bullets.
Walking on broken feet until
They heal.

Suppose few things are as
Subjective as
Growth.

I was one too.
Taking pleasure in pains of the
Past; addicted nearly, to the
Pity and attention
Of others.

Now I keep it locked away.
Private pearls of an adventure life,
Wounds long healed;
Faded scars. My smiles now deserved.
I wish the same contentment

To all those others, the
Happy unhappy. Who can only
Recognize themselves
In broken
Mirrors.

We've walked so far together.
You carry your shoes by their straps
Carelessly over your shoulder,

Your toes happy in the soft sand of our
Short, yet eventful
History.

The soles of your feet still carry
Scars from the sharp rocks; unfriendly
Paths of years gone and

Yesterday's selfish lovers.
Now your hand is safe in mine,
And there's a colourful sunset

On even our cloudiest evenings.
Walk with me
Into it.

I brought you five roses on this
Day. One for each
Month together.

There's bliss within the
Bliss inside this
Bliss, and

The print on that
Girl's T-shirt is more
Than true;

Life really
Is a
Beach.
