Inside me
Is a pocket
Of glass
Refusing to break.
No one can touch
Between color
And breath
Residing there.
It is secret –
Something like blossom fire
Or dewy expiration.
It holds me together –
This private sanctuary.
It is not solitude I fear,
But loss of what is still precious –
The crimson flutter within
That keeps me whole.
