***
|
|
|
|
as a woman, everyone
|
|
thinks I'm a mess,
|
|
that I must be embroiled
|
|
in some bitter distress
|
|
because I wear no makeup,
|
|
do not clothe myself in a dress,
|
|
and laugh at those who
|
|
seek to make themselves less
|
|
|
|
*Sweetheart, sugar pumpkin,*
|
|
my grandmother would croon,
|
|
despite my pleading that
|
|
I be immune
|
|
to being dolled up,
|
|
I, rough, unhewn,
|
|
secretly in love with
|
|
the girl in the moon
|
|
|
|
