A Doll's Tissue

A porcelain vein under my skin, Open burning of doll's eyes, Girl rising to a pink end — This just daybreak Open burning of doll's eyes, Black fire in her hair, Girl rising to a pink end — ~Remember~ her shelf life, bare Black fire in her hair, Girl rising to a pink end, ~Remember~ her shelf life, bare — A porcelain vein under my skin

The Pantoum is well-made. Since then, I have neglected to write any. Thanks to you, I'm thinking about giving it a go. Pleasure was mine.

I read this three times and I just can't figure it out. I'm sure it's got some really awesome metaphorical meaning. Any hints?

Hello, Tom! It's just what I (the doll) feel, when measured - using metaphors. I made a doll personal. Used her in relating to myself.
