Fragile, Natural, Wild (with Magaly) – in the Garden
~~
The Old Woman
they treat you like
a fragile thing
a precious flower
made of glass
they fear you will
shatter to pieces
if they tell
the truth
but you are strong
a woman forged
of broken pieces
fused together

People can be such blind things… They seem to forget how long it took for the glory of every line to write life on her face, to bleach wisdom into her hair… Such bling things, people.
