work_excerpt:
At 40, I Crawled Between My Mother’s Legs as She Lay on the Couch
& Wept the Evening Brett Kavanaugh was Confirmed
Time does not change us. It just unfolds us. —Max Frisch
I buried my face into her thigh, my sobbing
lost in the television, as though last night’s stars found me
most lovely in my thoughts of a deadly future,
my solace lucid, running,
my flesh foolish or dry as wilted flower, lush even in darkness—
my flesh rainmaker, embracing other women
I see, hear, stand beside—
gathered beneath my rain, restlessness,
full of secrets & deep terrors,
fathomless ponds of loneliness,
our ovums whispering.
Our lips move as we stroke our abdomens,
massage our wombs, our generations howling
against the birth of a man’s era,
ovums uttering a quiet sigh,
singing dark lullabies....
