a wool and cashmere blend

piles of good lingerie
wrapped in tissue paper and filed away
amethysts and diamonds
locked in velvet-lined boxes

charcoal portraits drawn from memory
assumptive lyrics with no melody


cannot lose what is kept in it's place
until one day I treat my heart the same way

like an object
and why it never occurred to me
to object
to these objects or to being one of them
