from Ode to Broken Things.

...

Let's put all our treasures together
-- the clocks, plates, cups
cracked by the cold --
into a sack and carry them
to the sea
and let our possessions sink
into one alarming breaker
that sounds like a river.
be reconstructed by the sea
with the long labor of its tides.
So many useless things
which nobody broke
but which got broken anyway


-Neruda.
