SHATTERED GLASS

by JAMMONICA

All I notice is a big bowl
that had a big crack in it.
The cabinet is normally
shut, but it was open and that’s
when I noticed the crack in the bowl.
As I moved the bowl glass
fell onto the ground. I tripped
as I was heading to get the broom.
I’ve got glass in my foot and I start
hearing noises. I sit here for a second
trying to recognize where the noises
come from, but I have no clue.
I start taking the glass out of my foot.
It feels like fire going through veins.
The glass reminds me of
falling angels falling from heaven
for the bad they had done.
The broken pieces that shattered
like an angel’s wing.
