Music Box

glass opening  
for her eyes      
hands feeling      
between my thighs    
emotional carousel      
twisting and twirling    
silver knob unwinding      
time to watch me    
dance to a rhythm      
until I die      
til the music ends      
when she says goodbye      
a broken ballerina      
on a stage      
not whole anymore      
just spinning      
inside a cage      
useless music box    
full of toys      
dirty trinkets  
for her joy       
battered dancer      
box of shame      
doesn’t spin quite right      
doesn’t sound the same      
just a pawn      
to her game      
one that’s always      
played the same      
     
ballerina body      
slowly turning      
open box  
repeating silence
