One of the most persistent lies is that boys are angry.
And the shadow lie: that girls aren’t angry.
But even though we aren’t formally trained to hate like boys are, every girl is a natural expert:
We have so much to hate.
Listen:
A growl that tastes like blood
Black reservoir
Of anger splashing
Closer than you think
Beneath the slimy dock of everything I say
In my person voice
Nice woman voice

Yellow wallpaper
I mean like swatches of it

DEAR NIGHT POSSESSOR
Dear night possessor: your funeral barge rocked tight in the fisting water makes small winter
melodies. The light ends a pattern we learned to stupefy by motion or admitting away. A
statutory list puts the blame on the hour. You move as I move, whistling measures in salt
grass, patient and guarded processions. At night, the line is a current to wade through: older
names sifting past the flotsam, the water rising up to here.
