Broken Peaks

Broken Peaks

Everything is
a puzzle
made of the tight shards
of a shattered crystal.

The fragments have sharp edges
that cut the fingers
trying to place them
into their harbors.

At sweet angles
the planes reflect you
but when tilted
they become invisible.

Silent in the night
when touched too firmly
the lone geometries resonate
when nicked.
