Splintered Shell - Jan 14.jpg

They've Splintered

January 14, 2018 by Gareth Mitton

They’ve splintered

Broke off from the group

For so long compressed grain

Flowing lines intertwined

Now drifting

Apart

Not completely together

Air in between

Space occupied by uncertainty

There’s so much space out here

So much unsaid

So much need, so much want

So much to come, to go through

They’re filings

Magnetized

Attracted and repelled

Nervous and lusting

There’s so much space out here

They’ve splintered

Gone grain, gone safe, gone off

Afraid the other might

Go off

Put off

Wandering off

But here now and ready

To be separate

Together
