S-hook

open at both ends,
strong, yet versatile;
prominent curves,
and a shape
naturally occurring
everywhere;
easy to identify,
and smooth to the touch;
it can hook you,
and hold you,
and your struggle
against it
only makes it sink
deeper;
looking harmless,
it captures you,
fascinates you,
and will not let you go:
this, like a woman.
