Ropes twist from each wrist.
Thin leather, light as a feather,
bind spoke and bone.
A gag, an orange flag,
caution, object in motion.
Naked skin, chrome rim,
buckles, rivets, nipples,
hermetical black vinyl.
The image of bondage,
of fantasy or fear?
My reality, my physicality,
reflection, sensation, perception,
ties pain to pleasure.
