fractured.....

glasses
with fractured lenses
clung to dust
beneath the front porch swing
a briefcase
cover torn and tattered
perched not unlike a tent
on the first of seven stairs
contracts
formed a squadron
of badly folded airplanes
scattered about the snow
a tie
without a knot
covered with martians
hung limply from a gnarled and naked branch
a belt
of hand tooled leather
no longer with a buckle
trampled in the mud
dry
concrete where the car
once stood
stark against the ice
letters
written in yellow snow
sorry
but I just had to go
