“Ambitious” Woman: Young

have you snapped yet the wand that christened you a
climber?
that dubbed you a doer of the dangerous,
she who splintered sinews just for the thrill of watching veins crackle
under a microscope of the male gaze on thin skin?
have you yet taken that magic wand by its handle,
seized it in the fist and split it down the middle –
kindling for the fire of your rage?
