Black Iris Maiden
buttoned up tightly
black iris maiden
smoky extrapolation of time
dancing along in rhythm
guarded by black cameo
pierced, not pampered
silent, stoic, revealing nothing
black iris maiden,
resigned to her fate
greeting no one
smoky memories
hazy not helpful
hurt beyond recognition
dragged to doctors
silent, stoic, revealing nothing
