Maybe He Would Go There...

What will break us is the unspoken

half-truths and the silence that fills them

the indecisiveness of maybes

finding that hope has its limits

fear that we could possibly reach them

eyes wide shut we learn

taking shelter in the unanswered

is no shelter at all

So maybe

just maybe we go there

into the fragility of the unsaid

a kintsugi of beings

finally seeing there is promise in the breaking.

Kintsugi (Japanese: 金継ぎ, romanized: "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
