2 poems by Grey Burnett





my pussy is so big because it’s full of secrets

queen sized like a mattress you know she’s soft you know you know you know she is but she’s getting softer you know she really is you know how hard she tries you know so hard but like  less hard less hard less hard breaking off all the sharp edges coloring outside the lines and expectations and boyish disgust she’s a new breed of woman a woman’s woman you know she made herself and remade herself and she’s new and she’s old and she’s kind of exactly like a river that doesn’t know where it’s banks are you know you know you know a flood-plain of a woman taking up the wrong kind of space in the wrong kinds of places and ruining your crops like a bible verse you know she’s loud she’s rushing she’s roaring you know she’s just so soft and supple she can’t help it if she’s liquid you know it’s just like in high-school chemistry you know water will change to fit its container you know and this container doesn’t look like a man anymore or even a body so maybe it’s just broken and she’s spilling over you known an act of freedom mistaken for violence and she’s moving you know and womaning you know and she just can’t stop growing you know?
