The Joins
Chana Bloch
        Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending precious pottery1 with gold. 
 
 
What's between us 
 often seems flexible as the webbing 
 between forefinger2（食指） and thumb. 
 
Seems flexible, but it's not; 
 what's between us 
 is made of clay, 
 
like any cup on the shelf. 
 It shatters easily. Repair 
 becomes the task. 
 
We glue the wounded edges 
 with tentative fingers. 
 Scar tissue is visible history, 
 
the cup more precious to us 
 because 
 we saved it. 
 
In the art of kintsugi, 
 a potter repairing a broken cup 
 would sprinkle the resin（树脂，松香） 
 
with powdered gold. 
 Sometimes the joins 
 are so exquisite（精致的） 
 
they say the potter 
 may have broken the cup 
 just so he could mend it.
