FRAGILE

Like the water we drink
													the air we breathe
			inhalation of a tender sweet breath
														compilation of played-out tunes
				you are fragile
			vincible
							invisible
											hollow
				Like the perfect snow angel
															with no handprint
							the clear nail polish
														    on the mahogany wood table
							you are fragile
breathless
							weak
										powerless
															Like the softest voice
							a gentle touch
														chills of wanting
															desire of tempest emotion
							you are fragile
lowly		
														meek
										wise
															Like my motherís comforter
							the childís protector
														    shameless meaning
													one tear of armor
																        you are
															f
