the pieces are glued
they have been broken before
put together with haste
in preparation for immediate reuse
the pieces are not quite snug
there are some gaps present between them
you can smell the growing mold in the chamber
discoloration permeates the borders
do you wonder if it would be ready to sell
if we had taken the time to properly glue back the pieces
and dumped out the water inside it
(it last held roses and baby's breath)
it is not fit for the reputation of the store
we should probably throw it away
surely no one would appreciate
how it was handled without care

This poem made me think of the Japanese art of Kintsugi
"As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise."
Although this poem looks like it was a haphazard repair.. Hm.
oh wow, that is actually quite an amazing observation you've made. i think it changes my perception about the hidden object of the poem. (in a good way) <3
