Kintsugi (Triolet) Poem by C.D. Sinex

Kintsugi (Triolet)

Rating: 5.0


Healing the cracks enlivens the clay
as broken memories are made whole
again. Inlaid gold, the craftsman's way,
healing. The cracks enliven the clay,
as melancholy in the lines they
set, reaches out and touches the soul,
healing. The cracks enliven the clay,
as broken memories are made whole.
