Take me to the river,
drop me in the water
Dip me in the river,
drop me in the water
Washing me down,
washing me down.

Your body is an offering,
your hips, a poem.
Your eyes pierce the earth when you stare,
and words rise from your tongue.
Your body is an offering—
an altar of dialogue,
the white space between the moon and the sun.

Is loneliness a genetic craving carved into our bones?
The familiar dance of reaching for a partner we can see
but can’t hold.
Maybe your hunger isn’t for companionship.
Maybe you’re just craving yourself
in a different form.

Happiness finds me in a corner,
asks me to dance.
Its sweaty body rubs against mine,
wet with enthusiasm.
I match its rhythm
until a headline scurries past,
baring a devilish grin.
Go to work, cry, sleep—
a never-ending beat.
Still, happiness finds me
in a corner, smiling.

My mother says this is reality—
make your body a table,
prepare a plate.
Expectations are dangerous
for an unkept woman.
When a man asks my name,
I search my memory for her smile,
offer it in sacrifice.
Expectations are dangerous.
So is reality
for a woman who feeds hungry men.

Each morning,
I start on my knees,
thanking God.
At noon,
I worship filtered bodies
and curated lives,
head bowed,
scrolling through my feed.
At night,
I no longer hear God,
only my fingers clicking,
praying I’ll wake up
in a different life,
a smaller body—
a heaven without comparison.

There’s a knock at the door.
I don’t answer.
I want privacy.
Can a woman exist unseen?
Even screens have eyes.
I unzip my body,
watch my lover swell under my gaze.
I want privacy
before I’m captured under another watchful eye,
bend against their razor edges,
split myself into two.

She’s single at the bar,
searching for hope
in a shot of tequila.
It soothes her rage,
peels back disappointment.
A man at the bar invites her
to his place.
She takes another sip,
presses the burn against her lips,
body trembling,
and returns home alone to write.
Faith sharp in her hands.

I am not a girl's girl.
I don't tuck in my elbows
or clench my jaw before I speak.
I cover every corner of the table,
scrape my plate clean.
I am not petite like my mother.
Fat hangs like the American flag.
I spread my toes and stretch out my hands,
fill the room with my body's demands.

I kiss boys at sixteen
under streetlights,
palms pressed to my face.
Names sit heavy on my tongue
like a sharp object
I force down to his hum.
I kiss boys at sixteen

folding into backseats
like a roadmap
searching for home.

The day before my diagnosis,
I waged war with my thighs.
Caffeine pills and pre-workout,
semiautomatic weapons.
I froze under the doctor's gaze,
cold probe guiding my breath.
"Watch and wait," she said.
I had been watched my whole life
by men, by managers,
my body a landfill.

Traumas line up.
I press a pen into my palm,
mouth open wide,
set bombs off with song.
Hurt is a microphone
my voice transforms—
curses into chorus,
pain into harmony.
I am the melody in your sleep.

I’m the quiet girl in the corner,
longing to bleed red onto my lips.
I slice myself into pieces.
Peel off extra skin
so everyone can have me.
If I stop pretending,
will people still want me?
Or will they toss the pieces away?
If I breathe deeper into my mask,
will my face disappear?

I have sat in church pews,
my body restless beneath men’s hands.
I didn’t meet God in a sermon,
but in a club—
hips gyrating to a reggae song.
He whispered,
put down the drink.
I’ll wait for you at home.
When have you found God in unexpected places?

Her lips part to confess her haunting.
Our mouths open wide to cradle her truth.
The car ride home becomes an infirmary,
mending our aching bones.
As she speaks into the night,
our ghosts disappear
into the cold wind
like an answered prayer.
Shame cannot exist
where women gather.

My hands scale every memory,
reach back to touch my grandmother’s face
before the earth inhales her body.
I see her in my mother’s face,
my mother’s face in mine.
Shame passed down
anchors my feet.
I stand on top of their silence,
mouth stretched wide—
I exhale chains and kneel.

I swallow hard
to make myself digestible,
choking on words
I dare not speak.
Quiet women
are always hungry.
A human keyboard,
commands punch into me.
Voice trapped in my throat
from all the swallowing.
I breathe into my pen,
turn my hands
into a fork
and gorge
on possibility.

I wanted to be marked by
his words,
his attention,
his adoration—
a commodity for consumption.
I wanted someone to claim me,
to know I was worthy of possession.
Now I mark myself,
slide my fingers inside my own heart, and pull.
I belong to no one but myself.

I am a mountain against the wind,
firm in my becoming.
I unfold lessons like fortunes
from cookies.
Grief molds me into stone—
a woman who kisses loss,
cradles rage,
and worships heartbreak.
Grief teaches me
to bloom in its presence.

I lasso the moon,
snap a picture—
proof I can hold beauty
without the world crushing it.
“God’s work,” my lover said.
I chase it when I rise,
stare into its face
before I go to sleep.
He’s gone,
but beauty is still here.
God rests beside me.

Loneliness is a slinky in my hands.
It collapses into my palms,
leaving scars.
I juggle love and loneliness,
like a circus performer.
But love keeps slipping,
through my grasp.
Too many scars.

My skin is a Venus flytrap.
His hands press against me.
I contract and expand,
lose myself in the ravening.
He feeds me compliments.
I feed him candy from my tongue.
I don’t know if I’m the predator
or the prey.
There’s power
in both the capture
and the devouring.

My skin is a Venus flytrap.
His hands press against me.
I contract and expand,
lose myself in the ravening.
He feeds me compliments.
I feed him candy from my tongue.
I don’t know if I’m the predator
or the prey.
There’s power
in both the capture
and the devouring.
