Interior Night.
My eyes
My tongue
My womb
My core
Look at me
What do you see?
Nothing
Don’t talk to me anymore
Give me your hand
Hide your breasts
Hide your hair
And lower your eyes
Turn around
Don’t look at me
It’s like you can see everything
Heart mind and soul
Inside our bodies
Inside our lives
What we do where we go
Our absences
And even what we haven’t told you
It’s like you’re seeing us
Robbing us
Eating us up
Our brains
And the shirts off our backs
Upside down
All mixed up
Disfigured
Gutted
Turn around I said
Don’t look at me
What have I done to you
You want to look at me
Well take a good look
You haven’t seen anything yet
Get out
Beat it
Witch!
A fire.
