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.
