played against lustre
breakable figurines positioned behind glass
or wrapped in paper
It is the way eyes settle and hold fast
onto fragile things
delicate shapes meant to be touched and turned,
baubles and doorknobs
It is the way one cherishes their own
but still wants other's
It is fine china, ceramics, and clay,
the moon, sun, and earth
The simple pleasures of perfect design,
detail and balance
It is the way she wouldn't look at him
and the way she would
She was the pretty things put on display
and he was a bull
the reason glass breaks
