My Secret Weapon
The world is my oyster
waiting
pacing in nervous anticipation
All is ready
to burst in glorious colors
raucous symphony
Seams are taut
stretching in excitement
doors bulging with opportunity
Creativity has arrived
Smile is broad
wide
grin is captivating
twinkle in eye
cannot be denied
This is my reality
my excitement
my joyful ammunition
Birthday Morning
Broken Glass
Mirror breaks inexplicably
invisible stone
hurled
by a petulant force
seeking attention
Shattered
Shards litter floor
prismatic glass mosaic
hundreds of pieces
return disjointed image
echo chaos
flash alarm
Art deco
Nouveau art
Art less
Strewn about
fragments catch light
direct variegated colors around room
or blind with angry
blast of sun’s rays
blink tears to protect eyes
Some bits are flipped
reflective side down
unable to face their new reality
Photo frame characters
watch from across room
frightened by crash
they seem to leap
to escape their restricted confinement
Clean up is like walking through a minefield
where great care must be taken
not to detonate
a slumbering weapon of destruction
Remnants of mirror
not forgotten mines
lay visible
but every now and then
unseen splinters
pierce and draw blood
an exacting toll
to assuage guilt
for breakage of
the valuable mirror
