Trailed Ink

Insipid box

ed

of jailed magnolia
her silk cupola strained
into unnerved veins
hovered
into a lymphatic embrace

her cage a shrine of terror

a leashed expectation

The scarlett smudge of her fruit
a magnetic wish
breached
at the core
by straddled lips
that bequeathed their selves

Instill

ed

in her awkward breeze
that slightest storm
of unspoken memory
it's craving limbs
a strangling hold on reason

a breath lost in place
