Gerber Daisies

the simple
stabbing of
one needle
same two
spots on my
angry but
no longer
blank skin
over and
over and
how many
times over
is my
woman-
ifesto
my standing
and screaming
fuck you to
potential
infertility
to those
who think
my ovaries
might make me
a push-over
to anyone who
even thinks
that maybe
i can't
these two
perfectly colored
and shaded
and accented
with white ink
flowers
can maybe
cover and open
your eyes
and pave the
road to
my life.
