PorcelainA Poem by amailleiaSetting: Manhattan, 1899...There is an elegant twist to her mouth, A glitter to her eyes, An eloquence in how she stands there Saying nothing at all. One porcelain hand Flutters to the table, Stops Just before touching, Lands Perfectly light, Ivory against mahogany. The other hand Raises a crystal glass Filled with liquid gold To ruby lips. Bright blue eyes Close, Open, Blink. One strand Of perfect russet hair Falls across A flawless face. She uses it As an excuse To brush away the tears Before They fall. Porcelain is so Easily shattered, You know. © 2009 amailleiaAuthor's Note
