I am not so fragile
that I can not break
I have been smashed
into a thousand pieces
Scattered like stars
brilliant with sharp edges
Only to sweep up my slivers
and mend my fissures
I have loved profoundly
and wounded deeply
I can do both things
at once, and want you
To take me off the shelf
drop me, break me
I am not so fragile
that we can not love
“Scattered like stars brilliant with sharp edges”- love this!
