Tears trace the window with indifference.
A detached experiment,
Like the growth chart of youth.
Heightening as the years endure.
Measure for measure.
Black line on cement wall.
Synchronicity behind glass.
Mascara muffled fragments of a
Life
Half lived.
Knife edged.
Serrated.
Rejection stabs the panes-
In unrelenting cuts of self
Doubt
And shame.
Proof of life.
Comforting.
And in the distance the thunder cry of
Failure.
Beats like a prophecy
Of doom.
