The pen broke
Right there
On the white paper
A blue Rorschach and silver nib
The hand broke
Right then
A bone frozen and muscle failure
The brain stalled
The heart paused
All around birds flew and
Cars sang metallic songs
The eyes saddened
The tears remembered faces
Now gone and
The pain of those still here
The pen broke
The fire put out
The poems become of less and less
Use.
