I stare at myself,
tracing the edges of
each glass shard
laying on the ground.

Face warped.
Hands broken.
Heart twisted.

I pick them up one
by one, feeling the
sting each shard leave
on my fingertips.
Some pieces don't
fit. Others are lost.

Blood stains each piece
recovered.

I see myself hanging
on the wall once I'm done.
I look closer.

I try not to look for the cracks this time.
