Kintsugi
Like the sunrise
After a storm
The flip of a switch
As night falls
You are the golden strand
In my former scars
Kintsugi
The precious reparation
Of broken things.

The poem contrasts sharp consonants with open vowel sounds, as if healing the broken parts.
The cadence of the poem flows well. Overall, a damn good poem.
Thank you.
Love the whole thing, but those final two lines are gorgeous!
Kintsugi is such a wonderful subject Jane – to break, and continue. Often use it myself, but this, nothing like this. Loved it.
You all are very encouraging – I appreciate it <3
