The Unbinding

By cadymae

She's not edgeless but I am not the one
who will completely cover her

and make her confess her contours.

Perhaps the shape of that key
is made by several hands
turning it mutliple ways
til something clicks,

and they feel   ...  it   ...   as they pass together,

the way a skeleton key becomes one
with tumblers
uniting in
freeing.

    Marvelous metaphor for the complexity that she not doubt is indeed, inspired Cadymae, thanks.
