You want to pin me down like an exotic butterfly Examine your catch with collector’s pride Inch by inch Feast your senses on your prey Explore it with your probing fingers Ready to intrude Pinned down like an exotic butterfly, I dread your hungry grasp Don't you know what happens to butterflies When you touch their wings

Pinned
Here I am. A deer in headlights, feeling stinging unease. Just a moment of confusion, right? Lingering unease. My body’s stiff, the realisation bringing unease. The remorse splayed out across his face. Hands-wringing, unease. A line I didn’t think to draw. Static pinging, unease. Must leave. Lost in a maze of thoughts. His scent clinging, unease. Should have been more assertive, Lou. My ears ringing, unease. But I made myself small, a mouse with quivering unease.
