Love this john. So many layers to ponder!

I imagine the 'broken things' with faces, breathless and wounded!

Love the first line!

Intrigued about what the broken things are, a sort of variation of flotsam and jetsam?

I really do like the whole poem! ;-)

wind in the chimney -- that often is such a haunting sound, as does this haiku.

Autumn wind
sounding the chimney alarm
rattling with arms

Compelling. Causes me to reread it repeatedly. Well done.
