The Joins
Chana Bloch
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.
