Self Made




He lay his hands
on sunburnt
heart
felt the heat
through his fingers
and wept
as she swallowed
herself whole.

Empty, and lifeless
she rattled the chains
she allowed him to
close around her wrists.

Fragile, broken wings
flap useless in a wind
far colder than any
frozen night.

She dug the grave
with her own hands,
knowing
there is no one
else to blame
for a cage

self made.
