What Refuses To Mend 

Anthony Hanible

It lives in the hush where the winters Begin

A seam in the world that won’t pull in

Not wound

Not warning

Just a line that keeps forming

A frost mark etched

Where the warmth stopped swarming

You touch it and silence replies with its Twin

You name it and nothing is summoned Within

Some breaks don’t heal

They harden instead

A law in the cold

A pact with the dead

Some things refuse

The mercy of end

Some things stay broken

Because they won’t bend
