Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Kintsugi
Pierre Dubreuil
He tried the rusted key in the antique lock
and though it met resistance,
he heard the tumblers shift
and there inside the metal box
lay a cracked porcelain heart.
With his gentle hands
he polishes it with care then fills in the cracks
with pure molten gold and a broken heart is whole again
