But I don't want to
be
a woman,
or,
in love with you.
When Humpty Dumpty fell apart,
those who tried to
put him together,
did so out of love,
not out of being
in love with the egg
who had sat on fences
and walls for too long,
already cracked on the inside
before he finally broke.
I want to be
all the King's horses
and all the King's men,
not just a woman,
to put you back
together again.
