aftershocks
Like cracks on a glass
Splinters in wood
aftershocks look just like that
like snakes slithering
and beads spiraling
falling
breaking
spreading
wrecking
toppling
everything and nothing
a catastrophe that continues beyond space and time
the life that would’ve
could’ve
looked nothing like mine
like storm in the clouds
and broken winged birds
like floating specks of dust
never enough
In the endless loop of aftershocks
I am stuck.
