all wide eyed and innocent, that was the look, or something like it, edged with tokyo around the eyes. a big bow around my neck, red, an anime present, a gift, all laces, undo me, undone. red laces roped me at wrists, hips, feet; red laces across my breasts. such planned innocence, leading you on a leash to the fetish ball, past video, past cages, and bars, and stages, past the ghost-faced memory of my dead grandfather. into red-laced nothingness laced through with blood and wine.
[Mayday]
