Clutter

An accident.
I dropped my favorite tea cup
the shards went everywhere
I don't have time to clean up
any of them.

My lips are thin
from all the words I've spoken lately.
Believe a few of them,
like you believe a bird with broken wings.

Our never-conversations
take up space,
taking place in my head.
They clutter the corners. Letters
never sent, never read.
