NaPo WriMo: Day 28


Near the end now, only a few days left. Here's today's poem which is taken from a short story I'm actually trying to write at the same time. 

The Cracks

Today I saw the cracks appear
The small wrinkles of the earth
They started small like maggots
Then grew longer into worms

Today I saw the cracks appear
Like lace around my feet
They sliced into the earth’s skin
Then split open like a pear

Today I saw the cracks appear
As though traced with marker pen
I stepped over them one by one
Then erased them with my feet
