petite and tiny
but not small and whiny
an adult but youthful and sweet
sweep me like a tree in a twister
my heart a hard and calloused blister
throwing me to-and-fro
then nurture me like a bird with clipped wings
my world, the palm of your rough hand
my heart is large
my bones are frail
my skin porcelain and silky-pale
dry out the windy river that paints my figure
with bundles of cotton and polyester
from head to toe
there's nothing to show
but a body to use when I surrender.
