it took a life

[spinkle]

it took a life

but i learned beauty is a bone
china cup broken, phrenology
of the faults when fresh speak
the language of liquids, lunar
mountains span a braille crescent
to edge the depth of design
where it splits, the sudden
semi-colon of a splintered handle
weeps the grace and sadness
of never being whole again.

coffee pooled in the crater
slides and dances balanced
on a point, the pirouette
a porcelain curve defines
when twisted and looped
a moebius strip of motion;
all other shards now at home
in a vacuum, in silence
once the music of accident
drops off, falls and breaks.

Damn Spinkle! This is bloody awesome - I love poems that make me smile from the sheer cleverness of the words used. An onslaught of incredible images!
