Humpty Dumpty Girl

I like to imagine that you are delicate

When you’ve scaled my wall,

Your yellow hair dripping down,

That pale skin

Like yolk flowing on powdered shell.

Look at me.

How do I look from that great height?

It was I who broke you in,

Laid you down, Nested you with me,

Back when you were fragile.

Can you feel how I am yoked to you?

I sense you teetering on the edge.

Don’t fear the fall, don’t fear the end.

I’ll be here to put you together again.
