Back when she could feel
and was less afraid
there was
tongue to tongue
skin to skin
and novels of desire
written in sweat
on welcoming sheets
Now long past the age of consent
when there's no reputation to damage
no chance of accidents
she's transparent
If the world notices her at all
it's not as fire
but as dust
and they hope for a wind
to blow her away
