poem: imagine

Sorry for the long hiatus. My internet connection has been down for the past one week or so. Anyhow, this is something I wrote about a week ago...images just appeared in my mind, and I thought I would translate those images to verse.

Imagine

Imagine a mirror
shattering into a million shining pieces,
Imagine a teardrop
falling onto the ground
bursting into an umbrella of tiny droplets,
Imagine a heart
breaking,
Can you hear the sound?
the sound of a mirror shattering
Can you see the brokenness?
a teardrop broken upon granite
Can you feel the wetness of
wine-stained shards
glittering upon the marble floor?
Perhaps you can,
if you cannot,
just...
imagine.
