If we were only ever transactional
and I offered you the whole of my being,
would it set things right?
If you were to name the debt—
I would produce the very marrow of my soul,
I forfeit it to you.
Deplete me,
Bind me,
Break me,
Take from me what you believe is fair—
I would show you what lies beneath my ribs,
in all its timid motions,
struggling to beat its pain away.
