Molding an image out of iridescent clay, filled with a hundred shards of your broken expectations and the things you wish to see within me
Standing raw, naked, torn to shreds, trying to pull my skin back up over me and around me, the thinnest of membranes I turn to for protection

A Valediction Forbidding Mourning

So let us melt, and make no noise, 5 No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ; ‘Twere profanation of our joys To tell the laity...
“The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.”
