Excited Dogs

Excited Dogs

Shaking through leather

and the buckles

of her boots,

feeling herself

for the first time,

but not really,

the first time.

Locked in a box,

or a ribbon 

on a diamond ring,

barking,

like excited dogs do.

Twisting the piercing

in her nose,

just to make sure

the pain is

still there.

It is.

Like a ripple.

And the world

is slowing down,

letting her take

a few clumsy steps.

Before swallowing her whole,

and starting over,

again.
