there is
beauty
in broken things
in violet petals
crushed
under stones and
warm glass

there is
beauty
in broken things
in lilting melodies
and dissonant
notes

there is
beauty
in broken things
in the soft creaking
of storm-torn
doors

there is
beauty
in broken things
in hearts
shattered into
shards

there is beauty in
broken things
and it took too long
for me to realize it

because
crushed violet petals
are being pressed
for diary pages

because
accidentals
are the foundation of
jazz

because
doors swinging off their
hinges
still offer shelter from the
storms

because
shattered hearts and
plucked, snapped heartstrings
-if able to be broken-
were never really whole.
