from a cage they normally cannot leave
on prey they normally cannot touch
at least in the day
at least in public
they tore at her with so much vigour
it seemed they really believed
they could take from her
what had been taken from them
as if this were a way they could be remembered
by a world that had forgotten them
transposing their grievances
onto a woman whose blatant agency
spoke too loudly about their own lack
they swarmed around her
- a sea of beasts
taking clothes for dignity
privacy for power
being men who do not know how to be men
teaching a woman how to be a woman
