coiling around the ache like a lizard around a fragile egg she sucks out the fake gold [the] quick emotional fix and leaves the hard work nourishment to rot and then she takes her burden on her lap and strokes it softly until she forgets what it is made of

like a lizard
around a fragile egg
she sucks out
the fake gold
[the] quick emotional fix
and leaves the hard work nourishment
to rot
and then she takes her burden
on her lap
and strokes it softly
until she forgets what it is made of
Good poem, honey.
