Accidental Awareness

Posted on February 25, 2008 by randomyriad

Tiny little wine glass

Shattered by a heavy bowl

Spark, sliver, silver

spread over the gleam of linoleum counter

next to the dish drainer.

picking up the offending innocent bowl,

a shadow lingers,

resting dark against the hard glitter of icy dust.

    I like the way this poem picks up the beauty in breaking something. I’ve broken too many glasses recently
