What He Cannot Take From You

he pinned you like
a butterfly
to canvas walls

and you plinked
against glass
like a firefly in a jar

your wings are
wet
with the oil
of his expectations

so use your many legs
to crawl
over his eyes

sprout a stinger
and fence him with it

show him you are not
insect-small
anymore
