The imagery here is haunting. The contrast between clay and glass feels so powerful — something moldable versus something fragile and irreplaceable. When the glass heart shatters, it genuinely hurts to read.
What stayed with me most is the idea of rebuilding it as a pacemaker, partly clay. It feels like healing that keeps the memory of the break inside it. The final line, “At what cost,” lingers in such a quiet, devastating way. Beautiful piece.
Beautiful. Simply stunning. And it caters to my short attention span too! No wasted words. Just poetry
Glad you enjoyed
Beautiful!! From the rhythm to the word choice, this breathes, in the best way. Looking forward to more.

Great analysis, almost on point.
Ooh this is good. Reminds me of the Queen of the Damned. Drink of my essence and taste eternity kinda vibes.
Wow...such a powerful ending to the poem.
