Cracked

Her picture
shattered into oblivion
stares at me from the mirror

I am wondering
Who 
of us two
is broken more...

The light flows
between the pieces of a glass
between the fragments of her

I have once read 
in the ancient Japan
They used to fix broken pottery
with a gold

The girl in the mirror looks broken
The light poured into her wounds
Completes her

makes her whole
