VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: [i saw it]

[i saw it]

i saw the box
i saw it unfasten
at the bottom
(where it oughtn't)

i offered to carry it for you.

[you refused]

you refused the offer
the bottom came undone
your crystal bowl fell
(shattered on the ground)

your crystal bowl
beautiful, fragile
carefully made
spectacularly sparkling
priceless
crystal bowl

fell
(shattered on the ground)

[we dropped]

we both fell to our knees
bloodied our fingers
cleaning a prismatic pain
(color filled our world)

we missed most of the fragments.

[you left]

you left me
carrying what was left
of your bowl
(i closed the door slowly)

my tears salted a million shards.





[i saw it]
