You
could
claim
your
power
.
Spin
the
brutal
“
no
”
of
it
around
your
head
and
let
it
fly
.
You
could
crack
the
whip
of
your
defiance,
let
it
open
seams
of
suffering
along
twisted
spines.
But
then
.
Then
you
would
live
beneath
the
polished
blade
of
everything
you
stand
to
lose
and
feel
the
spinning
edge
of
all
that
might
be
taken
if
the
single
hair
holding
it
aloft
is
severed
.
