Ashamed of the way your body grows, too much in the way of the places your creation calls its home,
Shed it all and be reborn: naked, screaming, defenseless.
Darling girl, this is how they'll want you,
writhing beneath them in the scorching desert sheets.

Ugly, ugly woman; they want you to be young again.
Young and pretty and brand new, there for the taking, and so
Cut up ankles, swollen body running the water red.
Darling girl, this is what they meant
when they said they'd never love you
until you've bled.
