we

finally refused

to be seen as only

bodies crafted

for the men’s

use&consumption,

so we set the

clouds ablaze

to sway them,

to show them

how wonderfully

we could coexist,

but

they chose to

take it as a threat

& they

have never

fully forgiven us

for claiming

the portion of the sky

that was always rightfully ours.

abuse is nothing to romanticize.
