hope

when I was five years old
I broke a ceramic vase
of great sentimental value

the bits of shattered clay
lie hidden in the grass and mud
for thirty years

until under a crescent moon,
just before sunrise, she said,
"I'm not in love with you anymore"

dawn broke and the sky opened
throwing all beings,
into the kiln of the sun.
