strings of attachment
strings of attachment sew themselves -
weaving the threat of romance
into a blanket that offers no comfort
statements of detachment form mantra -
reconcile the strings to the scissors
without making a cut
carve instead into the flesh
whatever you have to
let blood warm what the blanket cannot
remind yourself -
unfettered and ephemeral
is the nature of pleasure
