CERAMIC HEART


Two versions.
ceramics can be heavier than metal
if they're thicker,
but I can feel their weight upon my fingers.

your heart may be made of metal
and may bend
upon being struck,
but my heart is made of ceramics
and it breaks.

your heart may be made of metal
and bends
upon being beaten
but my heart is made of ceramics
and it breaks.

It was inspired by me holding a ceramic plate by my finger tip from the back (no thumb, there was a "ridge" like a 'foot' of the ceramic plate and it was hanging by my finger tip, and I was thinking about how easy it would break if I dropped it, and how it wouldn't if it was metal and how it was interesting that people had switched to ceramic, though it's smooth but can break easily.
