Admire My Pain

Each tiny detail 
is wrapped up 
in the catastrophe 
spread out 
cracked
if it were shattered
broken
a mess on the floor
wear your boots
protect yourself 
somehow 
from the pain
you'd feel if you were 
to walk barefoot
across the floor 
I envision this,
no emotion showing 
he steps back 
to admire it all
