Destruction
The destruction of a mirror
 sits peacefully at my feet,
 like the peach and iron spots that
 have settled upon the guilty stone
 
 that looks too peaceful by my feet.
 Thin cracks radiate and
 settle in deep, stretching from the guilty stone
 that fell from the sky, ruining perfection
 
 with thin cracks. They radiate
 like city streets out from the hub
 that fell. The sky is ruined perfection
 and it remains in the mirror.
 
 City streets can shine like mirrors in the rain
 and that is when I like them best, when
 the sky storms with ruined perfection
 and unleashes hail like rocks.
 
 I like best things that are imperfect
 because they can hold my attention.
 Once flaws are unleashed 
 they turn to works of art, like the one
 
 that now holds my attention.
 A city map is all about design
 and it turns to a work of art
 if you look at it long enough.
 
 Cities map out designs
 invisible to almost everyone.
 But look at it for long enough
 and you will be the one that is
 
 invisible. Almost everyone
 knows that mirrors are easily destructed.
 But only some can see them 
 in colors of peach and iron.
