Adorned with sprays
of summer flowers,
the tiny cup brimmed
with her memories.
He snatched.
Threw.
Smithereens
across the kitchen floor.
Cradling its saucer,
in silent tears,
she fled.
He played ever louder.
Later, he found her note.
Standing in an emptiness
too quiet,
he knew
he’d broken
everything.
