A Gap

Emboldened bodies

Made of

Workers;

Warriors

For respect

To strike against

A constricting force

I will bare my teeth

For tenderness worldwide

The tenderest force

Has the loudest voice

So, cheers - to taking back

The veil

The vile

The lie

The sewn-mouth-shut ideal

That's said to make us better

When really it makes us dire

Don't

Forget

Your teeth

To strike

Open your mouth
