fragile application

you open up and expose 
your soft underbelly

admitting you're fragile.
don't be, they say. 

they say it loud
like an order.

they think that if they apply
enough heat

you'll melt and fuse
back together

like venetian glass,
but you're not cracked.

you're not broken
until they break you.

you're not see-through
or else they'd see

the blood and fatty tissue
barely holding you together.

apply enough heat
and they think you'll just melt

back together. like new.
