I’ve heard it takes the hacking of a body
to make a woman.
Knock out a rib.
Does this mean that women are formed through heavy blows,
delivered as percussion?
Strikes smacking hard enough
to knock a sense of separation
from their heads, connecting
them to life,
all forms of it?
No, that’s only patriarchal rumor.
That linkage happens anyway,
to some people and not others,
no matter what
their exterior sex is.
It’s all a matter of choices.
There are those who call all
bodies sin,
as an excuse to pound out
their frustrations.
They want to swell the flesh,
curving it into meekness.
Docility that cannot,
will not be,
due to body’s aliveness.
Let curiosity connect you
to your body.
Taste the apple.
Swallow the notion of
your body as a celebration.
