Shards Of Clay


“Pots break.  All the time.  Memories, only memories, remain unbroken” (Anonymous)

Shards of clay
            Scattered
Can’t drift away
            Reminder
Of creation broken
            No matter
Cause we hope in
            Another
Chance

Our memories
            Drift
As our stories
            Shift
From fact to fiction
            Time
Allows our diction
            Another
Trance

Vanity of vanities
            Dispels
Our common humanity
            Still
We try to remember
            Stories
That won’t dismember
            Another
Dance
