According to unwritten rules
my behaviour is exemplary
I shall not burden my husband
not be wild, and only kiss in bed
Furthermore, I pretend I don't
have a body, while my friends
can just lie on a warm boulder
in a nest, in the hay, in the water
and in their rooms
where no one watches them
and no one cares
to tell anyone
And I always wear a shirt
of shame and fear
and if I ever am alone
unfamiliarity holds me back
