Divided We Fall Together

I dropped it.

Clear glass in water on the floor-

imperceptible

pieces in the puddle

Broken sharp edges

Of relationships

That crashed into each other

everywhere.

In a time that is cracking,

Everything.

Full hearts spilling

Everywhere.

With nothing to contain them
