Victim Poem by Celine Socrates

Victim



She thinks of fractures;
a series of dawns
outside planks,
their warmth captured in
fleeting
shafts of twilight.

She thinks of pictures,
and she is stilled
in split-second
splices of time.

Her story is told in pictures,
fractures
of an ever-changing present
carefully weaned
from someone's aging memory.

Her audience
will keep looking for a context,
some box to hold the shafts in.
