Scrutiny

swarthed, tired heart in bandages
sterilised vacuum under the glare of glass domes
look, but dont touch, you cant
steal it without the alarm going off
anymore.
infamous robbery attempts
brought heightened security with each red herring
oh, how lovely and vulnerable it seems
you cant nearly detect the faint pulsation
sole indication of life cruising thru
life leaked out,those dried cracked stains
each memory blotch overlapped in lengths of faded white.
high prices to pay
for breaching the prickly exterior, endless running vertical steel
no hands; so pass the chance of mishandling
ample are regrets of flaunting, magnetised
your needles and knives proved to be fatal attraction.
