unkindest of karmas
a girl growing full of curiosity
hidden with the forbidden
just an apple or a sealed vessel
– if worlds tilt on such equations
what hope? yet peppered with the punitive
our speck of salvation
to reach again or uncork the jar

I am nuts over this:
“a girl growing full of curiosity
hidden with the forbidden
just an apple or a sealed vessel
if worlds tilt on such equations”

It will unnecessarily limit the initiative and learning experience. It just isn’t fair in the growing years!
