Bianca Pina – broken things

                                       it’s beautiful        it leaves one nothing

                                      when broken

                                                                     to do but carve

                                                                     something slow

                                                                     enduring

                     is a childhood a quarry

                         that could have been

                                       a grassed hill       it’s not possible


                                      earth’s organs      to glide the slabs:

                                                slide out      rust-veined rock

                                in heaving blocks       lucent crystal

                                                                      back into place


                                         my memory     

                                        a fallen plate       to cover it

                                         some pieces       over –

                                                  are lost

                                 others slice open       there will never be

                                                                       a hill there

                                                    a hand

                                            in collecting      my life

                                                                       a museum

                                           it’s beautiful      no, a temple

                                   when it’s broken      for broken things
