Mind Full Meanderings in Epiphany Minor; Unresolved Arrangement

for Vocal's Sensory Poetic Challenge

By ROCK aka Andrea Polla (Simmons)Published about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read
The Broken Column/Painting by Frida Kahlo

Inching up, unravelling slowly, assessing, processing, bruises unseen

Inner bells toll, loud as empty hallways, the echoes of hush

Sweat, old, stale like my unresolved acceptance, submerge in steamy salt

Bloody flesh, chafed mouth creased, a bitter sour sangria to swallow

Obtrusive glimpses, seep past weighted lids, mirroring shatters of me
