Zap My Will

Janet Kuypers
4/28/19, highlighted on twitter,
Instagram and Tumblr

your thoughts
have crept into me
like an intoxicating aroma
I cannot escape
as it tickles my cilia
and excites all my senses

your thoughts
have pierced into me
like a razor-thin needle
sliding around my sclera
until it pierces my brain

your thoughts,
I hear them even
as I sleep — your sounds
enter my ear canal
and zap my will
until I become yours,
wholly, completely

not unlike a fish hook
into my open eye,
you have caught me —
and now my eyes
are wide open

under your total control,
I anxiously await
your next words
to consume me,
to control me,
so I can become your tool

this is what you do to me
and there is no going back —
