a broken plate

I broke a dinner plate today
one of the two last smaller white ones
Now there is only one
the other ones were replaced
a while ago
with bigger white ones

I miss the smaller
white one
with the scratches that
looked like cracks
I miss the way they sat
as a pair
of white smaller plates
on top of the
new
bigger white ones

It makes me think
that the time that was
has gone
with that one smaller
white plate
