poem: leigh QM

previous names

BITCH
The word thrown at me when I said no.
WHORE
The word spat at me when you were wrong.
SLUT
The word given to me when your “man” lied and cheated.
CUNT
The word used by others because they fear strength.

The words slide off me because….
I am right…..
I have integrity…..
I am strong…..
I am Teflon coated…..

…now.

petering to a trickle at others. Leigh, a uniquely individual global
community member, who always says yes to a glass of wine.
