Rage forged me in workshops where iron ran wild,
An alloy for steep flight, for slash and rupture.
Tempered in the furnace, charged with dangerous blue-grey,
To burst into space at a fatal, jagged slant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No face, no name \u2013 only trajectory and speed,
A burning pulse searching for the edge of death.
A brief biography: blunt mechanical cruelty,
Carried in my own body through the gloom of factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The explosion spat me into the sky \u2013 I merged with a bitter scream,
Piercing clouds, hunting for flesh and granite.
A jagged edge embedded in the walls with a wild echo,
Erasing the cozy world forever with the sound of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here I froze suddenly. A step away from a faint smile
Frozen in a photo frame under shattered glass.
Nearby \u2013 a child\u2019s blanket and an abandoned yellow mouse,
Which I barely grazed with my scorched-out rib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I became part of the wall. A chilled, mute witness.
In the dense emptiness \u2013 a fracture of metal and soul.
I stare into the dark where the only trace remains
Of those who once shared the evening at the family table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lodged in torn wallpaper. An element of someone else\u2019s decor.
An uninvited guest who brought destructive fire.
I hold the frame \u2013 now a stiffened support \u2013
In place of living, warm human hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
