GIRL OF LOVE

girl of love,
ten eggshells
for the broken bridge to your heart
maybe ten thousand
maybe
ten million
to walk on
to reach you...

girl of love,
you cast aspersions to me
as if I were a koi fish
in your frog prince pond
and your hatred
some sort of foul bread

girl of love,
eggshells,
bread,
a banquet
I would eat 
if it would 
return to me your 
sacred affection.
