Memories
with all of their hopes and dreams
lay smashed and scattered
like so many shards
of blood speckled glass
watch them tumble
hear the words
once heard
never to be unheard
seen
now etched
in tiny nicks and slivers
on the fingers
that sift
through the memories
there they lay
broken
some things
once shattered
can never again be
completely put back to right.
