Where does a beautiful woman belong, but the shelf.
Put her there, in a glass case in the living room, amongst your other trophies and prized possessions.
Show her off to your envious friends.
Temporarily take her down,
To fulfill your lust or produce your babies.
Then put her back again, a mute, dumb statue,
Her beauty her prison, a bane more than a blessing.

Where does a beautiful woman belong, but the shelf.

- Prachi Percy
