Night of Shattered Glass
After six months
of silence
following tropical island
rest-cure-
divorce
spent with five year old
son
totally isolated
staring out
at what moved
on the night
mother screams once
punches bathroom
mirror-sees herself
as a mix
of shattered glass
and blood
cast adrift
no escape
imminent
