confetti.

chipped away porcelain
falling apart like wet cotton fibers
in tiny flakes smaller than snow.

sprinkle the toffee
with broken glass shards
and hope you won’t choke;

everything’s broken,
but even ripped up
colored paper can still
be made beautiful.

    I wasn't sure where you were taking this at first but I like where you went with it. The closing lines summed it up well. Very nicely done

    As usual, your talent leaves me speechless.
    Your poetry brings tears to my eyes, but good tears, tears of wonderment
