Fault Lines
I have been breaking
shit all week
first the mug second
that glass from our wedding
still muddled with leftover
tea inside base and now
my phone dropped once
or maybe three times
to the ground a good
shake may set it right
every object vibrates
owns a frequency and
not all falls do shatter but
today
this pot for brewing leaves
another plan set trembling.
