fertility figure
looking down upon my body
crouched in the shower hopelessly
halfmoon breasts on a fullmoon stomach
water pooling in the line between generous thighs
curves and arches and smooth, pale skin-
a fertility figure
like the ones in National Geographic features;
long ago they treasured
a body like mine
long ago
today rain falls on this desert
more than stars do-
the land of milk and honey
that God forgot to love.
