Damaged.
Hands off.
Touch only with
The white kid gloves.

Empty.
Nothing there.
White kid gloves
Will keep like this.

Pure.
Untouched canvas
Is maintained forever.
By white kid gloves.

Beauty.
It's delicate.
Must be protected.
With only kid gloves.

Look!
Hands away-
Leaves no trace.
Still looks so perfect.

Wait-
It's delicate.
Do not drop-
With your unready hands.

Alas-
The beauty
The delicate beauty.
Destroyed by gloved hands.

How?
We always
We're so careful.
Beauty destroyed so easily.

She
Is as
Delicate as glass.
Even kid gloves could

Not
Protect her
From being shattered
By clumsy, unready hands.

Glass-
She was.
Look at the ground-
Glass is scattered everywhere.

Gloves.
Kid gloves.
They simply couldn't
Protect her from inevitable.

Shattered.
