only after it all falls apart

Jon Nakapalau

do you get to look at each piece

shard like and refracting deeper hues
colors missed when placed in order so that

only in the light of fragmentation can you see
the jewel shapes whetted with viscosity of tears that

sharpen your love so much in the cutting years of desire
then dreams long after it is past putting together again make

you realize the king's horses and men left you on this battlefield.
