Walking Wounded
By Sara Gojer
Shells and soft underbellies,
much like the walking wounded,
tough armor with hidden defenses
to protect the vulnerable creatures within.
Bigger smiles, louder laughs,
much like the fluorescent fish,
all just a facade
protecting what is within.
Come Dorie…
It’s okay if you forget how you feel about me
Come Dorie…
I will remember for both of us.
