a titanium element
as illusive as mercury
silver bonding and wending
breaking and twisting
beautiful and painful
it has built me up
until I feel all light
and shattered my bones
until I feel drowned
in liquid dark
like there is no air
left in the world
and I am its only inhabitant.
ever morphing
ever changing
awful and wonder
and yet still, iridescent
ever growing
even with the tides
and somehow,
unbreakable
