Suffering memories laden with needles,
Haphazardly placed into railroad tracks
Tattooed the length of her bony limbs.
Flashbacks of mother nodding, ashes litter
tattered clothes, face lolls like melting putty.
Remiss to the sculpting of a child’s growth
Are these recollections – each instance
Takes away a piece of her progeny’s morality.
Conventions are predestined to be broken;
Self doomed to be crushed with every flagrant truth
Of the constant indiscretion and condemnation
Faced by an ill-fated soul, mislead haphazardly,
On the merciless, furtive passageway of survival.

"railroad tracks/ tatooed the length of her bony limbs"
Visually stunning line with awesome sonics!
