[poem] something old to something new

[kaberett]

Give me, please, the strike that shatters
statt die Gefährdung des Giftes:
poison creeping, slow and steady,
erodes, corrodes, til nothing's left.
Shards can be rebuilt, with patience,
steady hands, and gold or glue:
crafted into strength and beauty;
reconstituted; made anew.

(At some point I might even stop focussing so hard on the general theme of piecing together shards...)
