Open Page Poem by soren Barrett

Scrapes on the floor from those that have passed here before
Memories of the past engraved as marks that will last
Some shallow some deep each a remembrance does keep
A gouge, heel skid black, peeling varnish, aging crack

Scuffs from an open door, new bride's footprint on varnished floor
One from haste a Christmas meal to taste
A black scar of a child's toy car
Scratch from broken glass left after anger's impasse

Glazed glare the trail of a rocking chair
Hieroglyphics, letters read, stains of wounds that blead
