Swaddled in Joy

#Prompt 93

One night you creeped into my memory

and an old language escaped my tongue

a quiet pain I did not remember to have

found me

This is what happens when grief revisits

When it finds you swaddled in joy

Lost in a good day

it sends a memo to your heart

reminds it that Kintsugi will only exist

when you acknowledge the broken

when the pieces still look like they belong together

but there are parts of my heart that left

with you

pieces I do not care to recover

because I always want this to hurt

while the world goes on spinning
