Notes About The Poem

this poem written for an online poetry contest in response to the above image

MOONLIGHT ON A BROKEN BOTTLE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The glass remembers light, sharp edges soft with time— each fracture holds the sky like a half-spilled prayer, while the streetlamp hums a hymn of shattered dreams.
