to be woman
and white
is to have the middle of your sentence become the beginning of his
to be woman
and brown
is to have your skin only be considered after
his
after hers
it is to have a poem about you begin with a story that isn’t even yours
your body
subject of my sentences
let my feminism shine brighter
intersectional
representational
your name in my mouth
chew on it long enough to stain my teeth
brush it off when I decide it is no longer useful
and what could be whiter than that
