Shhhhh

By Anon

 

Her face is porcelain, hard and unmoving
Stuck in a position of dumb sweetness.
Hard to be this way with no authentic feelings,
Just American bravado and puritan idealism.
shhhhh she says, don’t talk about it.
Just take this pill
Avoiding a response of her true feelings
Her tone of voice says everything
About her disregard for your choices and her righteousness surrounding
what you should do with your body
Shame, shame, shame

Standing with a body open towards the ocean
Our great grandmother goddess of fluidity and open acceptance
We stand proud in feminine beauty, hearing her whispers
Respect and honor what I gave you.
A body to feel, a heart to love.
