Broken Glass

two ragged shards of glass

struck through canvas so fragile

a painting full of beautiful colours

in its centre a black hole, a portal


upon a blood-spattered floor

a snow-globe of dreams lays beside

one happy, healthy soul long lost


two knife-shaped splinters nowhere

to be found, unlike the ghost haunting

the scene relentlessly, achingly

still searching the scene for answers


finding only extra questions

in the thick, dense layers of a room

never so searched than these times


trying to run, heal, become alive again

but forever haunting the crime scene

to their own murder
