Poetry
One short poem. (Five Fleas)
I thought I was broken
like a pot with no handles.
I thought I was broken
like the sky spitting out birds.
I thought I was broken like
thoughts cracking open.
And in each shell a mandible.
And in each mandible a shard.
Two short poems. (Five Fleas)

The gate is open.You can go in
