Broken

Radiance Angelina Petro
As I move in line, I notice
there’s a crack in my dinner plate—
a nearly invisible seam.
If I urge it a little, it shines.
Arriving at the servers,
I lift my plate. I am so hungry.
Lord, we are all fragile this way.
Let me finish this one meal,
and I will change my life forever.
