Shelby March

DTWOF 11:09 PM

The legacy we belong to

Don’t deny it

or me

or Alison Bechdel

Women with hair on their arms

or poppy red nails

or steel carabiners

Isn’t that quaint? To be lost?

Isn’t it sweet? To be settled?

How soft-sharp we are

How the most articulate women

leave us tongue-tied?

Hand over all your words to me

to my satin sheets

and I will cite you

in my annotated bibliography.
