A Woman’s Rage p.1
May 17, 2023
i paint my lashes jet black
the guards at my gates
eyelids swollen pink
9–5 is set for the men
perfectly poised for their productivity
while our wallets wallow within the gaps
i’m at my wit’s end
what more must i do
to prove the worth i already hold true
a flash of red across my lips
bits of silk detain my hips
one… deep… breath
one last long look
before the day devours
