The family, the circle
the body together,
lines of heredity, or kinship
tremors on the web, the arc
the circle shattered, cut,
The beauty in a way broken
a piece removed, ripped
torn from the fabric
jagged, in pain and in loss
Open wounds remaining
a maw of pain exposed
perhaps covered over for a time
yet the circle is what matters
coming together, urgent
to heal the damage, the rift,
Yet shards still there
encapsulated, remaining
waiting under heavy scar tissue
The whole, the mirror cracked,
tremors remaining, open,
broken, pieces hanging, exposed
the circle, the family
unwound, unraveled
shards sharp, within, retained
Their pain real, remaining
cutting into flesh, through skin
all who would touch them
Walls of the circle breached
the dike of our sorrow
levees needed, to be shored up,
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 external
