So weary of words like weapons:
Crazy Bitter Toxic Shrill
Unsubmissive Jezebel
Uptight Angry Bossy Shrew
Harpy Whore Unlikeable Prude
Domineering Difficult Bitch
Ditzy Diva Ice queen Witch
Irrational Catty Hysterical Slutty
Prissy Plain Too smart (Shame)
Princess Spinster Schoolmarm Tease
Temptress Childless Cougar Easy
Humorless Heartless Emotional
Less than TOO MUCH
Settle down, Silly. You overreact
In ungilded silence big girls cry hot tears. Bodies narrate the weight
and wounds of unwinnable wars. Be Sexy! Compliant! Un/Available!
A bar canyon-low and unreachable.
He hated her more than he loved her
Not a good to trade, degrade, or dismiss. Labels are lies twenty sizes too small.
Shed them at the shore, Love, crumpled and cast off like scales. Drowned and
saved and luminous, christen me Unashamed.
