It is only when your life breaks down
bit, by bit
that you realise
the sheer number of pieces
that made it a whole.
It is only when your life breaks down
to bare bones
that you learn
the water from tears
turns dust into puddles
and in that muck
a thousand flowers bloom.
It is only when your life breaks down
every fucking day
that you drop fear
pick love instead
and make every piece your home.
