Keep These Broken Shards

Neville

Keep These Broken Shards

 

Although the rice bowl might be broken

 Way beyond repair

Don’t dare throw those shards away

 

…

 

Take heed my friend and listen to these words

Then do precisely as I say

 

…

 

Sew one piece discretely

Inside the sleeve of your kimono

Then place another in my pillow

 

…

 

Wear one

Wrapped in silk and leather

Loosely tied around your ankle

 

…

 

Together

 These three things will keep forever

All bad spirits and poor lovers

From your bedroom 

 

…

        This reminds me of something I remember hearing once. And now it is buzzing in my head.

        Broken shards like 'collisions' help us grow

          I did exactly a bid. So far it is keeping all sorts of lovers from my bedroom. Should i break more crocs?

              An interesting and mystical write plunging the reader into the realm of supernatural possibilities.
