She held her breath and jumped.

observe if you can (or if you will)
these iron bars in the shape of a girl

the wind soughs whispers
out and through and yet: you

(o you, blind as angels, blind as pins)

cannot perceive a lock or key
the gate is open
should you care to leave

but she remains

still as glass-shards washed in light
still as children in the night

her fears surround her, bind her breath
your footsteps wake her, yet still she stands
unable to answer your commands

(or perhaps unwilling: her heart is her own, so much is true)

observe if you can (or perforce will)
these iron bars, in the shape of a girl
