Analysis of "porcelain"
She twirled right through,
transparent red gleam,
fabric draped fine grain,
jewels need not.
Caress riches,
share envy of light,
translucent darkness,
ceramic ser.
She's porcelain,
encased poetry,
outreach expiate,
alas saprophyte.
In flight which is,
crashing universe,
shattered tear frozen,
clinging wept dry
