Steel cold, rough hands lay slack. Pull it taut while gripping the back. Getting it apart takes a lot of force. Days pass, and so strain, as a horse. Gather up inside of a ductility test. If the wire grows warm, it drys best. Yield point stretched wire snaps. A coil cobra rests as tension gaps. The soliloquy, alike waves, is broken. Left behind a rid-sailing, in boat oaken. Breasts shift in a way to hold in place. It is crookedness for leisure to misplace. Thrown and shoved the other way. Yet, no pang was felt; only grit lay. Not adorn the sting of flatness to feel. As her skin likely burns from the ordeal.
