Go Dog Go Cafe word prompt – negative, erosion, balance
I look at our past
through sepia negatives
what once was a rock
worn down by the rain of fights
erosion of grief
earthquake of rage
faded into nothing more than particles of clay
on an out of balance
stage of life
I no longer wonder
why you work yourself to death
and I seek solace in the bottles
Flicker of Thoughts 
A very powerful piece, amazing!

It may go both way – more fierce or more avoidant, cut both way
