The Bindings

A baby.
Bonnets and bows
Disguise the neglect
of a forgotten rhyme.

A young girl.
Ribbons and frills
Conceal the sorrow
of a dejected tale.

A lady.
Corsets and heels
Suppress the anger
of an abated book.

A woman, breaking out
of the bindings.
Tearing the pages apart,
writing clean.
Her novel, her life,
Her happiness.
