The Flawed Inventor (Free verse) by Caducus
I invented a pedestal
it was a flawed design
for she always fell
landing as a mannequin.
Then I dressed her how I wanted
through two brown windows
she saw her suitor
and fell again, breaking in two.
So I fixed her with my hands
re-inventing her,
I changed her face
moulding her, to suit my dream.
I invented another pedestal
it was the perfect design,
yet somehow she fell
landing as a woman
who left me
still as a mannequin
that left two brown windows open.
