...moreWomen just need to live / inside a geodesic dome / powered by male rage; / the angrier they get / the safer we’ll be
...more“Not all Men” / Except for the one that followed / Me down every Publix aisle, / To the bakery, to the register, / & waited for me in the lot.
...moreBefore my father killed her, my mother spent her evenings telling me the story of how she came to America. Every night, the way she started was with something new.
...moreI learned what it means to be / an Asian woman / when I was / fucked.
...moreTo wake to the sound of Marwa seeping through the bowl of a sarod / That rests over the limbs of a woman in the balcony—or not. / To follow the melody across rooms, beyond the descending sun, /. Into the kitchen—or not. A call and response—or not.
...moreRape stories are like weddings—everyone thinks theirs is remarkable, but they are usually disarmingly, eye-glazingly indistinguishable.
...more“We both survived him,” I said.
...moreI’m thinking about the process of leaving the body.
