a water glass

a water glass, so smooth and round 
the stars, the stars, the cold bright stars 
a glint of light, a hint of color 
throw it on the ground 

a thousand shreds of careless light 
the stars, the stars, the cold bright stars 
pattern destined when it left your hand 
sweep it out of sight
