photopoem: untitled
photopoem: your name
Photopoems are basically a combination of some photos I’ve taken and some poems I’ve written. I don’t claim to be a photographer nor a poet. I’m just interested in words and images.

On some days
I wear my goose bumps
like armor
and step out into the world
carrying my fragility
like a weapon.
I step out
into a war I didn’t start.
A war I can’t end.
It’s easy to break me.
But when I break I shatter
into poetry;
into sharp
shards
of hand-painted glass.
When
I
break
I will slice the hand that broke me.
When I break,
(because I do break)
I can’t be put back together.
Well, maybe I could,
but I won’t look like I did before.
Maybe I’ll look better.
