not just powdery butterfly wings, or
catching floating soap bubbles, or
boiling tea leaves till the tannin is just right, or even
playing every artificial harmonic. but also
adjusting a Philips gramophone needle,
holding a thinly wine-glass (right before you've broken it),
finding fluttering eyelashes with your cheek, while
patiently mending a broken heart.

it's beautiful...and it's so you alright...though i dont think the word for it is 'delicate'..i think the word for it is 'sensitive'...one can be patient with delicate things, and one can be patient because one cares...
i can visualize a miniaturist (My Name Is Red)sitting with concentration and trying mend...the piercing needle will be painful, yet he (and not she) has to mend it
actually i don't visualize it as a sewing. i think of it like setting back every piece into its designated place, like a tessellating jigsaw puzzle.
when it is all done, there'll be a yellow aura that'll surround it a while and tada - it's whole and full again!
perhaps its my love for morose which made me see it like the way i mentioned.
i love your version though :)
does all that is delicate has pain behind..??
Omg these lines grip my heart- finding fluttering eyelashes with your cheek, while patiently mending a broken heart...bootiful
