Unset Porcelain

Unset Porcelain You knew of my porcelain fragility Chipped and marred quite recently Though yet unset, my hope to be, Repaired. Inching steps, you said try yards I am here! Relieve your guards, My back was safe you sounded clear The lioness artillery’s here Promise. I breathed my breath beneath your wing No song of mine seemed worth to sing, Much gifted mortar, I spread it free Reflected on reciprocity, Hopeful. Then slammed with such common disregard Hard force to break a brick, so hard, Shattered senseless and alone My sentry’s gone, I sent them home. Bereft.
