Gunhild Larking, Sweden's Entry for High Jump, Nervously Awaiting Turn to Compete at Olympic Games

[thechatteringofthesheep]

Day 21:  Origami

Crushed by questioners pecking her

she refused to speak.

Their shouts filled her silence 

as she breathed into the semi-darkness

behind the lights.

She folded and unfolded

her legs and feet and arms and clothes

a furious origami 

of tuck untuck fold unfold 

untuck and tuck.

Gestures from 

an empty damp cell

where she refused

to play the star.
