Suffragette
He holds her hands, those of women,
who toiled in sweatshops, picked cotton
until they bled, then with blistered fingers
mopped and cooked, gathered water and wood,
and bandaged the wounds of the same soldiers
who pillaged her, rocked the cradle
from dusk to dawn,
who sold her body so her daughter
wouldn’t have to come home with bloody fingers
having worked at the textile mill into the night,
but wasn’t allowed to touch the ballot.

Don’t Go Out Tonight
Sometimes lessons can be found
in cheap fiction, as much as Hamlet
or Great Expectations. A thought profound
on accident emerges from
a picture formed, one that stays with you.
Who else but a churner of splat,
a miller of pulp, could turn out
an image like this: a woman
walking down the broiled LA streets,
not long after she’s attacked.
The rapist’s mind is clean as ice,
but hers is tired, wracked,
a thousand questions jostling.
Should I report, or will that just make him
vengeful? Will doing...

Do You Think?
All around the world, there is trash.
One too many whores taking over my tv.
Everyone of them is unclean, except for my daughter, the cleanest of the mean.
One too many whores taking over my tv.
Everyone of them is unclean, except for my daughter, the cleanest of the mean.

A Woman In Parts
All the parts of me are obvious, see:
I consist of a heart in a tight corseted sternum
pressed upward in constant female expansion;
the weighty dreams I hold to
lean into this caving posture.
Womanhood should be
an easy aspiration yet
it holds uncertain things as stones
stuck into mud hold such after it rains
(I know what is there already, that
is the riddle) --
Its metallic taste rises in my mouth
to meet my every desire:
Crumb by crumb,
I see it fall from the air;
the empty air where love ...

She Is...
She said she didn’t dwell too much on the past things
“Resolve the issue and move on
Time is of the essence and if you don’t work the plan
You can easily be left behind”
They’d call her a bitch, a ball buster, all those things
Behind her back
But the truth was whenever she’d flex her knowledge
To get the work done, they just didn’t like it
She has worked longer hours than anyone else
Then go home and be a mother
A teacher
A counselor
A planner
Manager
CEO
CFO
Maintenance and Operations
Therapist ...

A Girl’s got to
A girl’s got to
Way up her options
Right
Just as a boy does
Separate fantasy and fiction
From stark reality
Determine any possible
Intersections
Settle on best bets
Likelihoods and probabilities
Positive and negative outcomes
A girl’s got to do
Just like a boy
Right
But maybe, just maybe
A bit more like a girl
The way, just maybe
It might and or should be
Just a thought
Right
Way up her options
Right
Just as a boy does
Separate fantasy and fiction
From stark reality
Determine any possible
Intersections
Settle on best bets
Likelihoods and probabilities
Positive and negative outcomes
A girl’s got to do
Just like a boy
Right
But maybe, just maybe
A bit more like a girl
The way, just maybe
It might and or should be
Just a thought
Right

Like a woman
Dismissed.
I’m pissed.
hey you,
I’m smart too!
always debating
smart-woman hating
mansplaining
As if I never went to school
As if you think that I’m a fool
I’m not just your pretty thing
a lonely girl who wants a ring
I have a brain inside me too
I converse as good as you
That is, if you would stop behaving
Like I am always wrong
It’s like I can’t do things right
Enough for you. Fuck!
why are you so uptight?
Just chill with me
be real with me
treat me equally
like you do your man-crush...
I’m pissed.

Fawns
They see cherries ripe for the picking.
I see fawns in the woods without a mother.
Saliva dripped down from the eye of the educator.
The eagles have failed them.
The bucks couldn't save them.
The frogs and the fish don't know how good they have it.

Blessed be the Fruit
(Parallels of Fictional Tales and Real-World Spells)
There are these men who claim to have more
knowledge over women’s bodies. They issue laws
to have more control over them under the guise of
morality or God and all that that is pure, and so a
plan is formed, but it’s more of an ominous map
that seems to head toward this fictional dystopia

Quoting scriptures, they look to these ancient laws,
to a time when women were stoned to death if
they were caught in the act of fornication or some
other decree that...
