BECAUSE

BECAUSE.

THE marble,
small and flecked.
dents and chiseled marks.
scars,if you like.

its picked up.
exammined.
the marble trys to roll away.
its dropped.
chipped lilac swirls.

afraid,
the marble continues,
its journey
slowly making its way to safety.

its cold,
alone
afraid
tired.

it cant stop.
its too risky.

the marble rolls on.
