wire

entangled, wrapped into

a possession of herself.

night after night feeling

the gold threads tied tightly

around her skin

compressing-

circulation suspended

for a moment

a flash of a life

that lasts

and throbs at pressure

only to wait

for when the wire threads snap-

give way

to desires,

agony

and red stripes are

revealed, an impression

of their existence.

and waiting no more.
