Analysis of Barbwire Heart Strings,
Emma Brunow 2007 (Iowa)
Why does the wire have to be so tight?
constantly piercing through me.
and all I can do is sit there,
and wait for it to medicate itself,
Just to be trapped by the same tangled rustic wire.
That happens to be binding,
the only thing that makes me human.
