Kintsugi (金継ぎ)

Pure and untainted,

With white lacquer painted;

One more amongst a sea of conformity,

Untouched by the worlds enormity;

With someone's careless caress,

Becomes pieces shattered within a recess.

Each one is plucked gingerly from the earth,

Laid out with care to form their rebirth;

Gold dust applied to each fracture,

To meld together each fragment after.

Perfect imperfection,

Created by projection.
