Poem: Kintsugi
Kintsugi (or Kintsukuroi)): Japanese. Fixing a broken object with gold resin
The fire burns bright
it eagerly claims the coal
void transforms to pure light
the frozen to searing heat
molten gold
fills the cracks
of your heart.
Still liquid, still pliable
shining and seeking to fill the low
pooling within the dents
and transforming the shattered pieces
not making it as it once was
not making it whole
but strengthening it
making it shine
despite the wear and tear
of life's battles.
It becomes part of the tapestry
not a mere observer
and unifies the chaotic
making it coherent again
old yet new.
