Smashed Within My Glass Heart
It was when the bowl
smashed,
and my hands slackened
I knew
lips were moving
a throat was talking nothing
and my eyes were seeing
what my ears could not follow
the ties that bound
had been cut
as each piece of glass
shattered into moments
of every second we shared,
a ripple went through
the tableau of my life
changing its geography
forever
my blood pours to smash
chambers of memories
and as the cymbals of your life
clash its finale
your arms are lost
and out of my reach
the knot unbinds
that first touch
the one that said no matter what?
is now sleeping
where no shadows fall
