A form of fastener for clothes, luggage, etc., consisting of two flexible strips with interlocking projections closed or opened by a sliding clip pulled along them.
Like an echo chamber,
the sound of my breathing
comes back to terrify me.
It's OK...
He pulls the zipper up, and
I hear every single plate of metal
click finally against every other.
It's OK...
Each time fear's like the first time,
his fingers in my mouth like balled cotton,
race me to my point of origin.
Wind it up, do it again.
It's OK...yes...it's OK...
