shards

little pieces of something
shine down the road
pick them up
they are earrings
a necklace
a beautiful dress
or a hat

little pieces of something
want to sing in your chest
some heavy metal songs
you’ve never heard
because I’ve just composed them
down the road
to you

little pieces of something
in your hands
at your disposal
don’t crush them
don’t send them away

because those tiny pieces of something
are my heart
