Unrealized

by Racquel Cervantes


Like a festering fungus
against spoiled roots the
child weans itself from
the cracks of its own skin.
Turning and twisting into
new growth unrealized,
inseparable from the
cries of morning.

Seems to be working so far. Not bad at all.

I'd have to call it a success as well. Gotta love a poem that can blow you away in ten lines or fewer.

Stripped and unaddressed; and it does concentrate the mind on essentials -- I appreciate the style.
