I fell
not all at once but in slow aching fractures
hairline truths gave way
to the fault lines I tried to forget
…
Shards scattered across the floor
like memories I dared not touch
edges too sharp to gather
too jagged to mourn without bleeding
…
But then
not a fixing not a rewind
but a joining deliberate and slow
with hands that knew each fragment’s story
…
Not glue not erasure
but gold
a molten grace poured into the broken seams
etching every scar with radiance
….
Now I gleam where I was shattered
my shape changed my cracks aglow
not despite the breaking
but because of it.
