i lie under the blistering sun
of your gaze
splayed slit and skinned
pulled back and pinned
a specimen
look all you want
you'll find stones of words swallowed
and angst undigested
great gouts of grief
mistaken belief
and there underneath the ribs a hollow
a thief – (hi)jack(er) of hearts – left
with never a glance back
he wrested a treasure
never wanted but never returned
you have dissected his deserted fief
where nothing can grow
in the fields he burned
so classify
catalogue
what you've discovered
the woman I am
an analogue uncovered
women have feelings
hearts
blood in their veins
i own all of these
i am a domain
