The safety of uncaringness
The encrypted loneliness
The circumscribed movements
All within the known arena
The small perfections
Exacted as a ritual
The votive offerings
Of cakes and ale
So lavishly enjoyed
The obscure tenderness
That make the fingertips
Follow the shape of things
It twas a sort
Of frozen love
Not what she
Would have chosen
Had life been kind
But many more than one
Know but one freedom:
Bondage!
Or she be free to choose:
This was the freedom of bondage
Whose flavor is regret
