Spine

My spine is a light fixture
hanging, lifeless but beautiful
illuminating hope and warmth
but so easily turned off

with just a switch
my spine can be darkened

My spine is the trunk of a tree
with limbs and stems
slender but sturdy
but so exposed to danger

with just one chop
my spine can be destroyed
