Gypsy

to rip herself of the walls which bind her very flesh

to warrant a frantic rummage of her shattered pieces

each with faults of lovers past, 

   lovers invisible

Rough texture 

jagged edges, jagged edges

Jagged

broken

edges

to find any fragment suitable for you

"I have what they don't, Let me

make 

you a deal"

For you,

for You. 

Please, take it. 

to revert her shatters

to conceal herself anew,

pieces piled at the ankles of her empty

      fruitless being

Please, take something.

For a small installation fee

I will steal thy humble heart from thee

Please, take something.

Take anything.

An offer? A dare? A remorse?
interesting, usually it's the non-gypsy that asks the gypsy woman to please take something from them. that's the gypsy allure.

If the gypsy is shattered or fragmented then she wraps herself in layers of mystique, intrigue and beguiling seduction....

so this is an interesting, raw and intimate twist on an archetype.
Nice work.
