Figurines

A Poem by Kelli Wyatt

Sunday, December 09, 2007 2:06 AM

A small glass figurine.
It shimmers in the light.
It's curves so smooth,
But it's shape indiscernible.
It can be held in the palm of your hand.
So small. So tiny.
So fragile.
But even holding it poses risk.
A risk of breaking off a limb.
A risk of the shape becoming even more deformed.
Yes,
This figurine is perfect.
And it shimmers in the light,
Edges smooth and clean.
But it isn't even pretty.
