Broken

[johnjgeddes]

We die every day and by degrees are reborn into different men, older men in the same clothes, with the same scars.
― Mark Lawrence

My cat and dog
Sleep together
And keep
Each other warm,

At night
When the house
Is quiet, with
Soft music turned on.

And I’m content
To write
Beside them
While they gently dream,

And their peace
Holds me together
When I'm too broken
To make things mean.
