I am either the mother or the ***** —
Never anything in-between
each new relationship with men
corrodes with the realization of what I am to them.
The fabricated fantasy to own me.
through desire or maternal care
never the lover, friend or equal
In order to see me as such —
they would need to see me as I am, flesh and blood.

In order to see me as such —
they would need to see me as I am, flesh and blood.
