by Andrea Laws
an enemy of unknown bondage
straps its straps on thee
digging deeper and deeper in
skin wanting to be free
“play it again!” they yell
satisfying their thirst
bidding towards hell
but never leaving first
enemy’s hidden beauty
walls guilty filled
now at the hour of death
they yield
stretched on stony depths
represented by marks
society only approves by
uncommitted barks
