For Ophelia & Pecola
Anyone who insists
You should not do or you should
Has not heard your heart.
He said, “Unsifted?”
What, are you a bag of flour?
A bed of flowers?
You a green girl? What
Perilous circumstances
Has he imagined?
The boy likes you, right?
You him? So who screwed it up?
Where is your mother?
Toni Morrison
Taught me dandelion shame in
Yacobowski's store.
