From the book:
Prologue
Halfway/Passages
Cut my curls,
spike the remnants high.
Pull off my bra.
Let other hair grow.
Shove my hands into
baggy cargo pockets.
Cultivate a bad-ass saunter,
Delicious, dangerous dyke, curious
to open your cupboards wide. To wash your shoulders,
rinse fragrant water down your laddered spine.
To bushel your moon-pale breasts
with my elbows' amorous crook.
Midnight,
Candlelight.
When you recline
among your pink pillows,
one hand behind your head
like a Reubens nude.
Floor creaks.
You smile, no doubt.
Door hinges squeak.
I come out.
