The red brick building of my body
has infinite rooms: upstairs, I slick
against a lover. Downstairs, I eat
until my stomach swells.
Outside, I present a photograph
of what the world wants from a woman,
but between the legs of a wife,
beside a sleeping child who may
or may not one day enter
the brick building of my body,
I undress alone
then peer out at the bush
I planted myself in the yard.
One day I will climb the steel ladder
of my body, step onto the roof,
that is always in progress
and float away.
