The Web Poetry Corner - Daniel Bradbury - Afar and The Lost Family 1

Afar and The Lost Family 1

by

Daniel Bradbury


Beloved, you've broken me
But I thank you for my fractures
Perfect hiding places for my shining secrets
A diamond dime glinting in cracked caves
Chances for desperation to appear a brave faced bounder
Re-bounder on the rebound, foot slip, going down
Falling to an apex,
Born again Christ figure of love
A tainted savior with blood spackled robes of torn silk
From expensive Chinese provinces
Abroad, and most of all, Afar
Like the money in your mouth
And the sincere laughter in tragedy
Afar is the jangley ghost of me
Invisible to me, but the only "me" you see
I am Afar
