A Thought Poem by Rachel Bari

Ears pierced with gold and silver
Dangling beauty,
Convenient to hurt, pull and pinch
Swathed in necklaces of diamond
Adorned...
A noose worn to enter death
Bangles colourful, tinkling
Glass, to break, hurt and bleed
Gold, platinum, silver to band..
Toe rings play hide and seek

Keep her beautifully adorned
Pierce her, noose her, capture her,
Band her, toe her
She's yours, not hers.
Never was, never will be
For she never was anywhere
Except in ears and neck and arms
And toes and....a thought
