Glass

Jazzy Colbert

The breaking of my mind is unsettling,
but satisfying when watched in reverse,
like a glass,
shattering then reassembling.
All the pressure it’s been put through,
to be blown into this work of art
is all released in an instant
as the vessel reaches its breaking point.
Tragic, even from a distance,
but to a viewer it doesn’t hurt
time to retry the experiment again,
even though you know the sound.
The spectacle will continue
until a shard pierces your eye,
then you will understand
how it feels to hurt.
