Trash glass

shadowbones

Fluorescent tube broken half

Digging through trash

I find a sharp edge

The blood flows gleaming red and warm

Choosing to carry on dripping trails

Hoping it doesn't get infected

Bag up the trash and move

Clean the wound and soothe

Irritating sensation of life

    Real life incident turned metaphor. Very nice

    This could mean so many things. I really appreciated the darkness of the piece. Nice imagery.
