India ink harpoons its way into fabric
strung around alabaster bone,
staining cloth with polychromic significance,
injecting an artist’s rendering of alternative beauty
between the stitches
I am the girl with the dragon tattoo.
I have the fire in my heart and the drive to be flawless in every facet of the word.
I am ferocious as the dragon that calls my shoulder his home.
