you know i love shiny things
but why would i want it
possible for my fortune to be told?
to be known, because
i need a flat edge
a flat edge for coverage
for without textural bias
a shade with no lines
and i am exactly like the bauble
you stole for me yesterday
it smashed in your pocket
it was glass
and it is
in now a thousand pieces
in the lining of your coat tail
terracotta broken liner
that shows how you've grown
like all things are all things
are all things
in tradition
