Look Where She Points
A real woman has lived –
showing off
my experience in bed with
my stretchmarks and
I don't mind
celebrating sex with passion
and joy and not afraid to
disrobe to feed my child and
I don't mind
having
rough hands that have
diapered two bottoms and
I don’t mind
sharing my
laughter with crows feet and
I earned
every single silver hair and
I don't care to shave because
it's winter here nine months a year
Look at me, little ones –
with your new technology and
leggings for pants –
a real woman
is me – so see me –
I don't mind
