Reflections of a Broken World

Fragility and loss

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

The mud-covered mirror

showed a distorted image..

Butterflies with their wings cut off

They died by crashing..

In a narrow, sinful world

The door locks were broken..

Stand up, son..

My heart is hurt..
