The Mark

sorenbarrett

Scratched the spot paint fell, nail head rusted
Pulled the the spike the nail busted
Drove another, wood gave way
Hole grew bigger, now a surgical display
Beam rotted, chewed by time's teeth
Leaving beneath an empty pulpy sheath
A wall disrobed, naked and bare
Skeleton decayed, bones to tear
Corrupted column revealed a bad tooth
When pulled, down came the roof

      Thank you my friend for your kind review and words of encouragement. Be it building, surgeon, dentist sometimes small things reveal what lies beneath.

        Yes, I totally agree, this could be relatable to everything, even to my own personal life journey at work in this moment. 🌹
