I am a vessel
Sailing the open seas
Weathered by storm
Swallowed up and torn apart
in the belly of the beast
Spit back out into the night
Where from above rains stardust
I collect it in my hands
Mix it with gold
and seal my cracks shut
I am kintsugi
In the light my gold cracks shine
Under moonlight they glimmer
Immovable but always moving
Ancient, intrinsic and divine

Today I closed my eyes,
and saw the white brim of the sea
meet the sky.
As the sky fell onto the sea,
the sea fell onto me,
two stars above gleamed brighter
than all stars before.
I opened my mouth
but turned my head.
