L'aura del Campo

In the market of life [176.30]

Two versions (different line breaks); could use a new title.

In the market of life

A.

My heart leaps exposed,
protected only by a smile
and a cage of bone.

This is what you see.
This is what you want to see.
I hold up the mirrored shard.

Thin slices of glass and silver,
a weapon of hide and seek.
I hide. You seek.

In the market of life
are you a buyer? Know this:
I am never on sale.
