new poem

She made beauty from broken things:

chipped teacups mounted to the wall,

weather worn window panes for picture frames,

a wall of odd shaped mirrors, dried flowers pressed in books.

She stained her beige sheets with coffee,

painted her bedroom ocean blue.

On her mantel, over the heart of her home,

she kept photographs of every man she ever loved.

And she never spoke.
