Broken Things

Broken nails and broken buckles.
Bent-up belts and bent-up wires.
Cracks in concrete and cracks in mirrors.
All these broken things.

Broken souls and broken hearts.
Worn-out people and worn-out tires.
Chipped chairs and chipped tracks.
All these broken things.

Broken locks and broken pieces.
Rusty bells and rusty rings.
Torn shoelaces and torn string.
All these broken things.

Patched-up junk and patched up puzzles.
Shining gold and shining diamonds.
Brand-new dolls and brand- new vases.
No more broken things!

Life

Rejections, judging, failure
Damaging, hurt, wounds
Life.
Expectations, addiction, fear
Lonely, absence of acceptance, fragile
Life.
Newness, dance, grow
Promise, love, hope
Life!
