alabaster of broken cisterns

WORDS:

we are our sister’s keepers/but sometimes i tell you i don’t where you are/so i hold no accountability for you/we’ve been here before/ i have watched you break and yet your embers never go out/a flame/ a fire/a sunrise/ and you hold shape/ i have watched you as a miracle, you became water/ that was turned into wine- and in the miracles/ your supply is intertwined with the vine/ you always hold shape/despite, the fragility and/ you, the alabaster embers of broken cisterns/break and mend/ break and bend/ break and you never stay broken/ shards of ember/ shards of alabaster/ jars of treasures/ jars of oil/ sculpted and moulded into your best self/ sister you take form/ sister you take shape/ sister you don’t crook/ you, the alabaster embers of broken cisterns/break and mend/ break and bend/ break and you never stay broken/
