I am unmade—
your blade-tongue wound
beneath my ribs,
blood in your teeth.
I am sunken—
dressed(bound) in
ivory and sand.
I dream alone
in the deep below.
What will I see when I wake?
Finally, do you(us) see?
Descent(dissent)—
A thousand-why storm
made nest in my head—
the prison(body) trembles.
I ask(askaskask):
do you see me?
I am surrender—
all that I might offer
stripped(stolen):
my secrets, my name,
my heart (your hands),
my throat—
I am witness.
