New Writing: Messing with Form

The Turn Around

I am not
a problem
to solve.

I am not math.

I am not dust
to sweep
under and away.

I am not an embarrassment.

I am the one who remembers
her mother's voice
from inside the upside down of her womb.

I am the one who remembers
her mother's name and
the stories her mother read.

I am the one
who remembers
even before I was born.

I am a miracle.
A testimony.
A blessing.

Not a curse.
Not dust.
Not math.

I am not a problem.
I am the solution.

Reclamation

Take your body back
from The Man,
from The Doctor,
from The Magazine
from The Minister.

You are a woman
empowered with that womb
deep in your mammal skin.

Every human on this planet comes from that powerful place.

Bliss exists in your body.
You will remember
when unleash
your fear
and listen in.
Listen in.

Take no more abuse
to your feminine form.
Take your body back.
