Fettered Women

oh fettered women,
do you walk symmetrically?
lining up your steps with calculation/closer to death, end of the day

oh faceless noons,
do you tread me and my flawed desires?
bringing your midnight reflections,washing over me like troubled water

oh fettered women,
do you believe in shamans, blindness, or love?
are we all broken yet?
