Shatters Beneath The Splashes
I watch that single drop of rain trickle down the
broken glass
In which the image is sustained from being
shattered.
Slowly from which it started merges with another
and the rain does not stop.
Now not one but two drops conjoin as that sharp
edge cuts inward.
Soon to be set apart as room runs out I stretch
forth my hand waiting for a miracle
only to be succeeded with it slipping between my
fingers.
The glass falls, the rain drops and it shatters
beneath the splashes.
