Mesh and Mercury

by @Geof_Spavins

She doesn’t ask permission, she is the permission. A wrist wrapped in studs, a throat ringed in chain, she leans into silence like it owes her tribute. One glove, mesh-veined, catches the light like a net cast for truth or trouble, whichever bites first. Her gaze? Not invitation. Not challenge. Just gravity, and you’re already falling. She wears stillness like a blade wears polish, not for show, but for the moment you forget it cuts. Bracelets clink like prophecy, each pyramid a vow: to never shrink, to never soften, to never be mistaken for anything but sovereign. She is the pause before the bass drops, the breath held before the altar breaks. And if you speak, make it poetry. She only listens to what dares to echo.
