But humans don't break into pieces like statues, do we? Sometimes I think that is for the best. Other times though, I think if we could, it would be honest and well-expressed.
We break clean in cloven planes and shatter out to starred remains. Then next intake of breath, we cleave back in and unto each, and grieve. The shards cohere. The cracks melt clean. The meaning in between us dreams. We tense and wait for this next breath. And crack and fix, from now 'til death.
We’re like crystal.
