Day 7: Shearing

Shearing

Once I floated on assembly lines

Until I was shorn free
-Shocked into sleep.

Woke in a band pressed tightly
fresh and crisp
As was well.

I was an exchange for a tiny hump
Of white. Slept in lavender darkness until
A sudden light!
A gap in a smile laughed at me



And now, I dream

With stains and creases
Tears and scribbling's

I dream of broken, shattered
things*. The tears I'd seen

musty pockets, soap water

I'm pushed forward on this
assembly line and I

dream of distant pains*
that still remain.


The NaPoWriMo prompt was to write about money.  I figured I'd do a POV.

*the line above was culled from Rust Geek, here.
