"Where I once was broken" from the poem Kintsukuroi by Astra starting point for my poem.
where I once was broken
shattered
a stunning composite of shards
and stardust
now I finance my future.
inside my heart I feel it’s a farce
yet I am here, still.
grab me if you can catch me if you can want me if you can see me
know me if you can find me if you can wish for me and love me
develop me in the dark
dutifully care for me
in the darkness of this life
I find myself turning in
letting go of the hope
that someone will find me
I need to create
yet I suffocate
I need to be aware
yet constantly hear
beware, beware, beware
wishing upon a star
that isn’t fallen or broken anymore
collecting my stardust
to form the fully formed me
is the least I can do for this woman
who is in her most fickle state.
I finance her future
so she will be stable
forever.
