Poem 8: Escape: A Pantoum

Her smile stretched redly.
Eyes burned behind the cage of her lashes.
Cheeks bounced like balls atop her lips.
No one told her for whom she posed.

Eyes burned behind the cage of her lashes.
Her empty belly trembled.
No one told her for whom she posed.
Leg muscles bunched, ready for flight.

Her empty belly trembled.
Her smile stretched redly.
Leg muscles bunched, ready for flight.
Cheeks bounced like balls atop her lips.
