an old fragile wooden figurine
a giraffe carved by hand
with a broken ear //
ella brings it to me //
a little cyanoacrylate magic
all better sweetheart //
ever since then
anything broken in her world
just bring to bopbop
“bopbop glue”, she says //
but how do you tell a little girl
there are things that will break
that her bopbop can’t fix //
like a heart //
