Statements Made on the Way
to the Grave
by
Matt Henriksen
If I could reach catch
the first glass I dropped as a child,
which smashed on the kitchen tiles,
and hold the intact object in my hand,
studying the intricacy of its
painted flowers,
its curling vines, hearing its lip clink against my teeth
and tasting the water as it was then,
I would not sit here, drinking.
