solid

amid catastrophe
where broken glass has carpeted floors
blown in from windows
shredded
wallpaper
hangs
from walls that have seen
better days
there
in that space
a meticulous teapot takes it's place
unobserved
ready to serve
as necessary as beauty
as cover
to disordered grace
as camouflage
for discordant groans
it is there again
held together through rubble
solid
amid catastrophe
as if it were you
as if it were me
