Promises
Hearts
Light bulbs
Christmas decorations
China dolls
Fancy plates
Windows (shatter)
Mirrors
Computers/technology
Coffee makers – of course on early Monday mornings
Dawns & days
Silence
Spines of books – oh how crisply they break
Cars break down on the sides of dark lonely back roads
People break up in public – shouting and slamming doors
Heels break on the way to the wedding
Engagements break
Long fake Fingernails break
Ankles break
Families break – nothing can make you feel so guilty and be so much not your fault
Smashed pumpkins
Favorite cds
Flower pots
Beer bottles – glass
Sea shells kept in drawers for memories
Waves on the along the sea shore
Stitches sown in far away places on clothes sold by the millions. How many little fingers broke from sewing little broken stitches?
Souls – not souls. Souls do not break. They split into pieces. Like amoebas. They split and split, a constant dividing – but no. Souls do not break.
