Blood
I have blood
blood on my thighs
Mother Nature’s fingerprint
pressed hard to that space between my legs
that secret place
that dark place
and you
you Man
will make me ashamed of that blood
ashamed of Mother Nature’s fingerprint
ashamed of that secret place
you will have me feel
it is a place for your hands
yet also for no one
a land free
yet a land imprisoned
that secret place
is my own
a place on my body
like my hands
like my eyes
like my tongue
take them
collect them in a bag
because you think
your creeping hands
like spiders
can spin their web
in that place
but you
you Man
are wrong
take that place
and feel the beat of my hands
and feel the beat of my eyes
and feel the beat of my tongue
you Man
are not strong enough
I have blood
blood on my thighs
Mother Nature’s fingerprint
pressed hard to that space between my legs
that secret place
that dark place
and you
you Man
will make me ashamed of that blood
ashamed of Mother Nature’s fingerprint
ashamed of that secret place
you will have me feel
it is a place for your hands
yet also for no one
a land free
yet a land imprisoned
that secret place
is my own
a place on my body
like my hands
like my eyes
like my tongue
take them
collect them in a bag
because you think
your creeping hands
like spiders
can spin their web
in that place
but you
you Man
are wrong
take that place
and feel the beat of my hands
and feel the beat of my eyes
and feel the beat of my tongue
you Man
are not strong enough
