Bopbop Glue

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 //
