Give Me Broken

Flaking paint

Marble walls,
Creaky steps

Echoes fall,
Clicking switch
To
Dialed lulls;
Memories sigh

Wrinkled crawl;

Worn, the grin at new,

To say much in few words is a talent few have! You had my interest at the first two lines, so opposed. What could flaking paint and marble walls have in common I wonder?
To your introduction (food for thought!) ..Do we not all like to think of ourselves as bright and shiny new...when in fact we are just young and callow?
For all our brave new worldlism ..we wander helpless when the power goes out.
If you would know yourself:let there be dark!! softerware

Short and compact with so much to read into. Awesome imagery and just very well written from start to finish. Great execution.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
