December Sunsets

You do this thing where you act like I’m fragile.

Like I have a home among the branches
Of the stained glass trees that line the train tracks.

Sometimes, I don’t think I’m a woman;
I’m just a silhouette in the sunset,
Tangled in glass.
In silence.

I’m not as broken as you think I am.
