time / memory

Time:
          A body moves within
          its shell,
          squeezing through the uneven cracks
          of each shattered frame, forcefully
          morphing, refracting,
          losing skin— black, blue, black,
          blue, red.

Memory:
          A mosaic— fragmented shards
          of my body and everything else I have
          collected from the street,
          a jagged painting of
          receipts and
          film rolls pieced together with
          tacky glue, still
          showering the ground with color in the morning, but
          empty of beauty at night.
