| to a coil of razor-wire |
| Intricate, spiral-coiled |
| weave of sharp edges |
| perched on your fence-nest, |
| a complexly-wound, |
| distrusting silhouette |
| against an unaware sky: |
| Alone, the patient antagonist |
| waiting for prey |
| dividing the openness, |
| helpless nature around you -- |
| If I didn't approach you |
| you'd have no purpose |
