oldest best friend with feet

woman cat witch bad girl from head to toe knows she will be

met with indifference interrogation and humiliation

and remember “curiosity killed the cat” they say

and saw that g.b. shaw said “the whole purpose of

nature embodied in a woman can enslave a man” (really)

what’s wrong with you don’t cover your ears can’t you behave

uncross your arms stop it not true you should be ashamed

so alarming how your imagination is just a bad dream it seems

calm down don’t you speak these words again to anyone repeat

family secret did not happen refrain be seen and not heard

forgive and forget domestic violence against belly and brain

fold your hands church knows best love honor and obey cliché

divorce is a grave sin and you woman original sinner evil eve

and your child will be judgment met ostracized otherized taboo

you even on death bed will never receive sacraments again

see jane run with her mother’s legs of natural instincts

she knows her body is her oldest best friend with feet

she knows her body does not lie arms held high dancing

she knows body language is her first language intrinsic

mouth voicing juicy lips singing soulful hands rebirthing

an evolutionary pathway in her morphological narration

a self taught creatrix emersed in truth serum visceral wisdom

a poetess emerges unfolding full body feminine intelligence
