I love the imagery you created and that rhyming scheme on the 5th stanza really gave this such a neat beat. Loved this so much.

The image at the end is a real gut punch. . . Thematically it feels very cohesive with other works I've read of yours. Your poem with the very devastating refrain of "they slipped the iron in," comes to mind. For me it speaks very much to the horrors of exploitation. . .

Exploitation is a succinct summary. Thank you for being such a thoughtful reader. I appreciate your feedback.
