Glue won't hold this glass together
Bind the shards and hold them still
Leaks and lesions spill the diamonds
Half-full glass worth's water seeps
into the ground. Again, and slips.
More adhesive, bandage all,
Melt and re-mold, sloppy, small
New glass misshapen, globby, rude
Filling slowly, ashen rain
Trickles in with many a pause
Spills a little, as I shake, but
Someday glass half-full again
