Or Unfold

 

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; The Ish

 

I’ve had many labels

titles

job descriptions

 

doctor

artist

wife

anarchist

 

my favourite is mistress

its peace

the silent reverence

for separation

 

I unfold his t-shirt

smoothing the stripes along my belly

he has socks somewhere that match

and it looks great with my new jeans
