pushed under the rug
buried in the earth I dug
crushed under man’s foot
thrown in a fire/turned to soot

I’ve had pieces
with hairline cracks
ones that melted down to wax
with jagged edges and faded top
the ones that bend and flop

I've had pieces
glued back together
but didn't hold in inclement weather
ones that scattered as mice
shaken and rolled like dice

I've had pieces
thin as floss
one’s old cloaked in moss
some are here
but most are lost
the ones here are covered in frost
