Poem: Heart of Gold

Any jewler can tell you

Gold is the softest metal

Heavy nontheless

I hold out my heart

The children take it

Bite so easily with their baby teeth

“I thought it would be sweet”

I am the opposite of cotton candy

Give me your neck

And I’ll weigh you down

but never turn you green

I can last forever

Even when you break me

It’s just two pieces

Of a shiny thing
