Poetry: Awkward

Awkward

 

With a bruised spotted eye you walk pass,

We look away,

Pretending not to see you.

Awkward.

 

The line of your jaw reveals a graying bruise.

You look away,

Pretending not to see us.

Embarrassed.

 

As you pass through the many with an injured hip,

Heads turn in synchronization,

Like a scattering flock.

Shameful.

 

Your picture on the news.

Old Photograph.

Black and White, deceased.

Domestic violence,

No one knew.

 

We change the channel,

Awkward.
