fallingundone in Poetry & Free Verse

seeing is creating

the visible body, the visible body,

it is visible, it is visible.

look away from this gasping fish

the quivering throat and all its arteries.

look away from this violent ocean,

breaking beauty into waste.

look away from this sack of lard

marker of burdensome womanhood.

look away from me,

look away from me,

stop seeing me.

don't stop, don't stop, don't stop.

if you don't see me, i'm not real,

it won't be real.

take your eyes off

and take "me" away.
