my mother said that
that her mother’s said
that her mother and grandmother
also said
that yes, you have to do
the great-grandmother said yes
because who first said that yes
was the husband, the brother
the priest, the wooer
or any other relative
Come here, give me a kiss YES, SIR
Come sit on my lap YES, SIR
No condom, right YES, SIR
I want to have a baby with you YES, SIR
Turn around, down the pants, lift the skirt
YES SIR!
I, who lives attentive
who was born uncertain and grew strong
said a loud and irreducible NO
among those furious, violent
yes, sir patterns
Come here, give me a kiss NO
Come here, sit on my lap NO
No condom, right NO
I want to have a baby with you NO
Marry me NO
Just a little, it won’t hurt
NO!
I DO NOT WANT TO
CAN YOU HEAR IT?
When I want
all my lips
will salivate and you will
meet the sound
of my sincere YESSS
My blood drips from womb to feet along broken paths, trembling in drops of pain and pleasure for having, now and ever, flesh and voice.
