Poem: broken

i stepped around the corner
and there lying on the floor
my mother's angel
a halo short of perfect
tears streaming down her face
a broken wing lay beside her
twice now in 3 months
the image laid before me
and i wonder...


a fortune cookie opened
falls to the floor
shatters before me
"your love life will be happy and harmonious"
covered in the rubble
a broken heart
reading a broken fortune
and i wonder...
