Broken – Kat Solares

Nate Reifke, Boot, Pen and ink on paper, 2018

Broken

Snapped

Fracture

Conjecture

A memory now spoiled

Now thier is fear

I give this piece of mine

forth now it's a sultry ritual

I place it upon wheels

And I roll it in front of the procession

On its way to be interred

Down the path lined with flowers and followers

To the hole I dug just for it

This rectangle in the soil

It's own space in the earth

To convert it with the hearty strata

And pass it into memory's halls

Broken

I say goodbye
