Breakable/Unbreakable #MondayBlogs

Strength can shatter
even as it saves
the violence of a last-minute catch
impact through long limbs
we find ourselves breakable
an uncomfortable reminder
of the fragile balance
between functional and stuck
though the mind holds
unbreakable
against the weakness
of the body:
all bones and sinew
ready to tear and fracture – Caroline A. Slee
