fragile / fragments

we are dancers under the moonlight / our feet bleeding, our toes numb

we are missed opportunities and drunken mistakes / we are all lost

we are artists that paint bodies / our fingers trembling, our touch unsure

we are stilted conversations and violent fights / we are all hurt

we are beautiful in shattered mirrors / our cheeks sunken, our eyes hollow

we are faceless lovers and forgotten numbers / we are all adrift

we are consumers of modern culture / our voices unheard, our words ignored

we are cheap cigarettes and even cheaper booze / we

                                                                               are

                                                                                    all

                                                                                        broken //
