blueprint

   
     
   
stained fingertips  
write  
in deep blue ink
sculpt  
with life-worn hands
 
hannah is
a house  
of  
contorted limbs  
each limb  
tattooed with  
blue viened  
pain  
   
the ballerina  
twisted  
one time too  many  
   
swirls    
out-of-control  
   
her body  
outlined in the blue ink  
of a master carpenter's hand  
   
his rough hands  
leave  
traces of his life  
   
imprinted upon her  
body and mind  
for a lifetime  
 
she becomes  
his home  
he becomes  
her cage
