As Beads Scatter

by N J Thornton   Jan 8, 2006


As beads scatter in a
Nonchalant manner,
The synthetic droplets
Shift along the concrete.

In your supple rigid palm
Peer a couple more tears.
The pearls you had saved,
Like myself, a long time ago.

...Alike they are forsaken,
Baffled, taken to the ground,
Discarded by your blue eyes,
And broken by your hand.

Glass and I are common beings,
Fragile in your company,
Snapped by your affection,
Weeping, shattered by collision.

Away you tread, not only on soil,
Alas, I stitch up the pieces.

*This is about a beaded bracelet being snapped in the middle of the street...among other things left between the lines. Just to clarify, incase it was unclear.*
