A question.
How do you inject my tongue with ice?
After years of heat radiating off of my mouth
A mouth so fond of projection- suddenly stapled shut with the metal of uncertainty
The cold steel of fear
She fears the fear she knows will come
She fears that the cold steel staples will begin to rust
I am nothing but a silenced statue in the museum of the deepest of emotion
