an inch

i'd settle for an inch of myself

a bit of skin, roped off for crowd control

perhaps a small sign that says please

and maybe it could contain that one freckle?

no? but it reminds me of my mother.

please?

i bought a million-dollar deed for the freckle

i wrote a thousand page book of paperwork for the freckle

i asked one man, and another, and another

in the meantime,

you close your eyes at night because the armed guards wear blue

you hold your freckle in your fist

and you worry it smooth

while your ovaries search you from the inside out

on day, the freckle is gone, and everyone tells you it was never there
