Fists & Bones & Broken Bricks (Poem)

Fists & Bones & Broken Bricks (Poem)

by Stephen Embleton

(Aug 2022)



I’m going to clench my fist

Crush my fingers

White my knuckles

And bash the brick wall that is in my way.


Like a pounding drum,

The sound of barriers bending

Breaking

Powdered bone.


Rage at the ruin

Wail at the skies

Blast a banshee screech

And shatter the glass.


Release.

Release it all

Open for the new.

Step forward and go!


Fists and bricks and broken bones.
