Clear Liquor and Water

by shannon-mcgovern

I need a part replacement. A cork to fill the aching cavity my soul has been pouring out of. I catch its pieces in mason jars I keep lined along my windowsill. As daylight hits the vessels tiny sun-beam explosions, like waves, wash over them. It cast rainbows across my skin, each a fragment, a tiny memory, of the magnificent glory it was when I was still whole. I want each one to run like waterfalls cascading down my throat catching onto each other and reforming on the decent. I want to drink myself back together.
