BROKEN

I broke silence
..........into a thousand pieces.
.....They crackled
............. as
.................. they
..........................fell
................................on
..........................top
.................................of
.................... the dresser,
..............on
..................the
.......................table,
.............................. on
................................. the
............................window
.........................sill.
I put a handful of pieces in an envelope.
.................................. I will save them for you.
