she says,
oh, but my tummy,
oh, but my thighs,
oh, but my size
...
when i look at my life
i see a glow
that's you;
you make me feel alive
...
limbs creaking down
back thudding on the frame
head folding in
hand clapped on my mouth
...
here's another for you, i suppose
i want to give you all the words
all the words in my soul
...
you aren't a person;
you aren't real;
no, you are a poem-
but I wish to know you
...
Such disgust and anger and fear
God, I don't even know why.
When you wake up in the morning
I resent you.
