The Bruises Left

[ p o e t r y 2]52 words~1 min read

My arms

Are freckled with bruises

My legs bear the markings

Of labor

Looking down at my body,

Strewn with patches

Painted in hues of yellow and green,

I can't help

But to think that

Perhaps my bruised exterior

Matches the rubble of the town

That the tornado left for me
