“Broken Mirror Effect” by Natasha Clegg
broken mirrors return random aspects of self
discrete pieces each bearing some something
some hint of the whole who stood present
and perfect of past before shattering under
intense vicious glare of an unstable future

Never, oh! never, nothing will die... (Alfred Tennyson)
We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. -jack gilbert

That you make something broken a whole unto itself without using brush, canvas or paint a remarkable thing; a remarkable poetic skill.

Powerful depth to your words Paul, as is the depth the of mirror. We see life in so very many fragments, snapshots, glimpses.
