"je suis belle"
no matter how greather eyes plead
the horizon
for safe passage
an escape from
unwarranted
uninvited
idolatry that reigns
when he tries
to name her
to save her from
the shame that
always lurks
in her shadow
every sinew in
his form strains
with the weight
of her oppression
his arms engulf her
without connection
to her soul
his embrace
embodies the fortress
that keeps her
from flight
absolution abides beyond
her captivity
where Redemption flings wide
the gate to her freedom
