The ear is an amazing tool. Subtle invitation,
subtle beauty, and the jewelry that decorates it!
I saw your ears before the gauges, and even then
they were small, delicate, and open to me.
If I could be any object, knowing what little purpose
I would serve, I would be the decorations, hanging,
from your earlobe: I would be satisfied being worn
on your body, your bright body, your beautiful face
sparkling from the lights you liked to daydream in,
placed near the delicate halls you’d always embraced me in.
