By Lucille Clifton
you uterus
you have been patient
as a sock
while i have slippered into you
my dead and living children
now
they want to cut you out
stocking i will not need
where i am going
where am i going
old girl
without you
uterus
my bloody print
my estrogen kitchen
my black bag of desire
where can i go
barefoot
without you
where can you go
without me

Hey Golden Kid,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Lucille Clifton is an amazing poet. I checked out your blog, too - good stuff! Keep writing and keep reading poetry. Do you write poetry of your own?
Thank you. I will read it aloud this Monday at our Readers jam in St Paul, MN.
