Desireé Dallagiacomo, from SINK (Button Poetry, 2019)
Everything to Call Him Before Rapist
The neighbor. The boy up the block.
Grocery bagger at Food Maxx.
The gas station clerk at 7-II.
Father to a 3 year old. 6'2".
Grandfather's caretaker.
Friend.
The hum of the dryer.
A few dates and long walks to nowhere.
The room in the basement.
The laugh that took the tension.
The oh c'mon over, over, over until it went dark.
Bought me lunch each Wednesday.
Opened doors.
Stiffened shoulders at other men,
kept them away like boys who like me do.
The split of a pelvis.
Sandpaper between legs.
Wishbone snap.
Ignored friend request (but never deleted).
Secret qualifier.
The shame after the shame.
The boy that is friends with all the cool girls.
The face that appears when I close my eyes.
The twice dirtied secret.
White toothy smile.
Months' worth of split open Venus razors.
Flinches at a new kiss.
BB bullet lodged into the tin can of me.
Apple corer.
Cherry pitter.
Coin tossed
in an empty well.

“I’ve called you a mistake
but you are not, never have been,
never could be on the worst day.
Body: you are a good, good body.”
