A recorded reading of “Porcelain Veil”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
She stands, a hollow porcelain frame, Glossed in whispers, wrapped in flame. A mannequin smile, a painted breath, A still-life bloom defying death. Her curves are carved, her edges fine, A silhouette by hands divine. But deep within, where echoes fall, A storm hums soft beneath it all. They see the vinyl, the surface sheen, The flawless art of in-between. But stitched beneath her fragile light, Burns a core of molten might. Her spine’s no hollow, airless stem, But iron roots, a jeweled gem. Her silence isn’t absence—no, It's galaxies that softly glow. She wears the mask they wish to see, The fragile muse, the fantasy. But strength resides in tethered seams, In midnight truths and fractured dreams. So press your ear against her chest, Hear thunder thrash in muffled rest. A fragile shell, a fleeting guise— But fire lives behind those eyes.

She stands, a hollow porcelain frame, Glossed in whispers, wrapped in flame. A mannequin smile, a painted breath, A still-life bloom defying death. Her curves are carved, her edges fine, A silhouette by hands divine. But deep within, where echoes fall, A storm hums soft beneath it all. But fire lives behind those eyes, Through fragile glass, her spirit flies. A porcelain veil, a flawless art, With molten fury at her heart. They see the vinyl, the surface sheen, The flawless art of in-between. But stitched beneath her fragile light, Burns a core of molten might. But fire lives behind those eyes, Through fragile glass, her spirit flies. A porcelain veil, a flawless art, With molten fury at her heart. Her silence isn’t absence—no, It's galaxies that softly glow. Press your ear against her chest, Hear thunder thrash in muffled rest. But fire lives behind those eyes, Through fragile glass, her spirit flies. A porcelain veil, a fragile art, Her molten core, a work of art. A fragile shell, a fleeting guise… But fire lives behind those eyes... ...those eyes... those eyes...
