as a woman
*as a woman
is it okay to like petals?
*a woman
in front of gold petals
*look, her eyes are shut
*sometimes I think
‘this one looks better
this version right here’
*inflamed in leather
*saying sorry
for no particular reason
*sorry, I avoided conflict
and took up many causes
some of them women
most of them men
a sea monster whose wounds
matched my own
*a woman
covered in gold
