cat-like looks, she thinks
shadows & eyeliner, too much'she knows
hidden glances, realizing ... realizing
raised in a rape-cultured world
she doesn't know.
brand-new curves, she thinks
stitches & denim, too tight'she knows
secret grooves, moving ... moving
guided to a new moon-rhythm
she doesn't know.
weird-wonderful games, she thinks
halts & hesitations, too soon'she knows
hidden bodies, breathing ... breathing
allied in a strange pain-dance
she doesn't know.
morning-after blues, she thinks
prayers & intuitions, too late'she knows
secret senses, forming ... forming
married to a girl-mom identity
she doesn't know.
