porcelain thin

wear that rusted halo 

it pins you with

thorns still green

stigma.

first sin

that pricks

your porcelain 

as thin as the

varnish

on a winter 

moth's

raptor

dare you lift

the ring

risk the

perforations 

to blood

the puncture not

corpuscle wide

will not prevent

rotting

from the

inside.
