because i was talking about her tonight,
and the lessons i was determined to learn....
claiming space
retracting her spine & shining
her teeth
they poke
a growl emits a bark escapes
back
the fuck
up
double exclamations take it up
a notch we've gone to level seven
& beyond that still
we're leveling & i'm in-breath
in-breathing hold & holding
still she gives no room just back the fuck up
take it back i won't i'm not getting
Louder or MAYBE I AM
in my tiniest, gentlest
voice i say, hard truth
