Caging Bruises

My response to Sue Vincent Daily Echo Thursday Photo Prompt – Caged– #writephoto

Evening is bruised

By fading day

The colour of contusions

On his wrists

Where he twists

And turns.

Striped by bars,

Burnt by bright light,

Salts of life

Crystallise

On lips, tongue and eyes.

His only respite

A darkening sky

With promise of rain

To drown his pain.
