if she wants
to find herself described
in something you wrote
tell her, fine
tell her it's there
tell her by all means
come find it
but also warn her ~
for all it's imagined attraction
this has never been
a safe place to go
looking for yourself

Like so many poems, this piece started life as a tweet/facebook post and I imagined it as jumping-off point for a much larger, self-involved, self-aggrandizing, cabaret of closeted skeletons of what-lead-me-into-writing, slam-poem. It's taken me the better part of a year to realise I didn't need that, and have the confidence to just let it be a long story short. I'm a slow learner.
-Peace
