Analysis of Shattered Windows
Julia L Williamson 2002 (White Plains, NY)
The storm hits again, the winds
slamming. The bottoms
of her feet
bleed from the bed
of broken glass
falling from her chest
as she breathes,
as she speaks. A never
ending cycle of shattered
windows–broken hearts.

About this poem
I wrote this poem when I was going through a breakup. It was raining, and I was crying; when I took out my laptop to begin writing, my tears stopped. The title comes from the storm outside, and the emotions I felt during that time.
