Little Girl Manicure
Pink enamel
bitten to
remnants of lacquer
not quite chipped
away.
Kathryn McL. Collins

hearts of glass
hurled through air
in pieces
plastic idols
nesting dolls
caned by fear
opaque tears
swept beneath
smiling lacquer
You are a bird in a piano
Atonal with broken wings,
panic flight of triplets
That hammer both lacquer and bass
Lieder of a bloodied beak
and shocked, artless eyes;
All the notes you play
Are glued with flightlessness
the tone of air stolen
the sky closed and dark
You are a bird in a piano
Atonal with broken wings,
panic flight of triplets
That hammer both lacquer and bass
Lieder of a bloodied beak
and shocked, artless eyes;
All the notes you play
Are glued with flightlessness
the tone of air stolen
the sky closed and dark
To lacquer tomorrow
with the gang’s reckless charge,
they scatter the crumpled myth of Poseidon.
The sticky weave of power and flattery,
eddying as it turns,
is reduced in a pot overheated
by driving rhythms—
sweetened with whispers
like a nightingale’s song.
The more it simmers,
the fiercer the season convulses.
BELINA
Belina was a lithe ballet dancer
She met a handsome young man Guy Prancer
The ballet stage there was lacquer
The evening of The Nutcracker
Toe cracked she found Guy a necromancer
Kintsugi — means “join with gold” — is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects, often ceramic pottery or glass. Traditionally, gold lacquer is used to piece shards together again, creating a more beautiful object through the acts of breaking and repair.

my shattered heart
fractal art sewed~
smart Kintsugi
Delicate hands fly
across keys of lacquer white
Piano bends for you
does your will, sings until you tire
I'll be beside you
turning the yellowed pages
Sipping the music
the finest of wines for my sponge of a mind
Moon peaks out at you
curtains pulled to let her hear
her children stars dance
to your swaying soul, I'll never grow old
with your memory my fingers inherited wealth...
This is how it will all end
lacquer looking glass
boundary waters
warm glows
green with envy
molten grasslands
sea foam blazen
Atomic spot light sun rays
Raven wings snow day glacier
Nuclear deviled eggs, inflamed snow angel
Prickly pear jasmine, lavender pearly gates
This is how it will all end

Without your touch the world is bleak.
The sun is lightless
Compared against your radiance,
So bright I’m sightless.
Coincidence will not explain
How right this all seems.
The comfort felt in our embrace.
The sensuous dreams.
Perfection can’t, in truth, exist.
Allow destruction.
A fracture can be mended whole
With apt instruction.
A golden joining strengthened by
Commiseration.
Your hand in mine, we start again
On new foundations.
