sixth.

by Melanie J Yarbrough

You break it you buy it
and place it on the shelf
hoping the shards
catch the light
just right
when company's over

Oh I love this! My mom would go to flea markets and find a beautiful flawed piece, buy it and do exactly that! This brought back a sweet memory. I will have to check out the seventh of August...

yeah, i love how my dad pretends everything's cool when company's over. our relationship becomes something new for a few hours, and then of course, goes back to $#%@.
