My hopes and illusions are all but shattered

Like fine chinaware placed on a wobbly table

Swiftly broken by a mere tilt

Discarding its delicacies without a care

Fingers pick-up fragments gingerly

As if honoring the brokenness

Will restore it magically

The tragedy isn't what came crashing down

It's the hope in placing it

Once again

On uncertain grounds
