listen,
you a
wonder.
you a city
of a woman.
you got a
geography
of your own.
listen,
somebody
need a map
to
understand you.
somebody
need directions
to move
around you.
listen,
woman,
you not a
noplace
anonymous
girl;
mister with
his hands on you
he got his
hands on
some
damn
body!
Lucille Clifton, The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton, 1965-2010 (BOA Editions, 2012)
