Broken Mirror

[JTParreira]

The mirror divides us
our pieces
on the ground

while the fingers
they bleed from glass's fury

A broken mirror
branches
of the same whole face
dispersed in silver

The cherry-tree
of the photo frame is intact.

I really like the animation and the contrasting stillness this provides. It also seems to say something about vanity.

This is really a very interesting poem and here the tragic situation of a person is so beautifully put forth. Of course the craftsmanship of the poet is unquestionable in fact

wow. something about the last two lines is strikingly powerful in complement to the already tragic yet breathtaking piece.
thanks!

love
