What a sturdy little box,
that one built of iron and skin.
I had such a time picking those locks
but I finally got in.

Lined in lace,
its so beautiful that I must have it.
I need more than a taste;
I need as much as I can fit

into my inadequate duffel bag.
This is all I've ever wanted.
I will be happy to say that it's all I've ever had;
but no, I'm haunted

by the fact that I will never become a part
of the box that is your heart.
