"The first boy that kissed me held
my shoulders down like the
handlebars of the first bike
he ever rode
I was five
He had the smell of
starvation on his lips
that he picked up
from his father
feasting on
his mother
at 4 a.m.
he was the
first boy
to teach me my
body was for giving
to those that wanted
that I should feel
anything less
than whole
and my god
did I feel as empty
as his mother at
4:25 a.m.”
