The female form, the rounded edges
that soothe and nurture
Shaped and created by gentle hands

The Museum Of becoming
...I loved you with both hands broken,
offered you oceans cupped in cracked palms,
watched it leak, leak, leak,
through fingers too battered to hold a tide.

Because I have no control.
It shows how stuck I am;
How reliant I am;
How not free I am.

cause you took my smile away,

A marriage vow
Build golden dream.
