BROKEN BOY

That boy standing in my memory -

Unchanging; Unreal; Impossible.

That boy is my age -

Quiet Eyes -

Silent Rage -

That boy's suffering is addictive;

Diabolical.

That boy with his broken tear drop

Charm -

And the stains of what I can not explain or

Know -

I fear that boy may come to harm -

I fear

Angels in the blood red snow.
