Who Could Ever Love Something Made of Glass

to you, i was a statuette

odalisque in freeze frame

a shell for your imagination

a habitat for your slow violence

as for me, i let you

bend me into doughy lifeforms

auditioning for roles i never wanted to play:

wife, mother, mother

as a study in still life

i disappointed you

for who could ever love something made of glass?
