the tamed

They say I'm beautiful                 at a distance
and an absolute riot                        when I'm drunk
I am the mystery of a moment           not the ugly of a housewife
who is she that I am not?                       settled, perhaps; fermented, moreso
someone worth more than fantasy             my ribcage petals are dressed to wander
every sight and night spent alone                  lonely isn't lonely when it is a choice
so tragic is the taming of a woman                   no easy feat to be dainty & wild
or to be someone loved                                         only at a distance
