In a MeToo Kinda Mood

In a MeToo Kinda Mood

Incest, rape, assault
are prickly propositions.
‘Don’t say those words out loud.’
So maybe a picture
can tell the thousands
of memories...
be still.
I won’t wear a crown of thorns
I’m no martyr.
But the space
between my legs,
once small & unsafe,
is now mine to manage.
