Break


Break your silence like bread
and feed it to me now.
Pour my yearning, like a stream of diamonds,
into the wine glass of your heart
until it shatters, it shatters!
Yearning breaks everything 
-cups, hearts, mirrors, vows- 
so that the stillness of what doesn't break 
might glisten, our love, 
this sobriety, this 
fasting 
from every ecstasy but One.
