Arachne's Menagerie.
1.10.02

I wonder sometimes who she is
     a mixed-up madhouse
     weaved from soap operas and fumbling boys' hands

Her bones are black glass
      and though her eyes are the colour of the ocean
      I don't believe them

She is only human, and uncomfortable with it

She does not understand that being a woman is delicate
not her violent nights and glazed-over days
