Kintsugi is the
Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with lacquer that is dusted or
mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Such breakage is treated as part
of the history of the object and respected as such, rather than something to be
disguised and hidden. The application in life is perhaps not so blindingly
obvious, but definitely thought-provoking.
#25: KINTSUGI
Break
me like an egg against a bowl
Gold-and-white,
spilling like seed
A
broken perfume jar leaking fragrance
A
halved lemon, bruised skin staining fingers
With
the sharp tang of scented oil
For
until I have been broken
I
am merely a pristine museum piece
Sheltered
and coddled
But
never fully alive.
