She's been hidden for days,
a careful calculation she made
that told her things would
finally come up clean.
She managed it for a while,
the mobilizing hunger
reaching deep behind her
capacity for self-control.
To the tallest place
she thought she could reach,
she brought the best
parts of her composure.
To the death, she said,
for it would be a mistake
to leave anything important
up for serious debate.
She kept her post safe
until the love she waited for
finally arrived in a box
taped three times on the side.
It was a risk to come down,
but when the box moved,
the temptation was too much
to leave it sitting alone.
