Open wounds remaining
a maw of pain exposed
the circle is what matters
coming together, urgent
healing the damage
yet shards still there
encapsulated, remaining
waiting under heavy scar tissue
The mirror cracked, broken
pieces hanging, exposed
the circle, the family
unwound, unraveled
shards sharp, within
their pain real, remaining
cutting into flesh
all who would touch them
Walls of the circle breached
the dike of our sorrow
flowing out in pain, in blood
the cost of the schism
of the picking of sides
unfair, the choices,
the circle is what matters
walling off the outside
