a pink chalk uterus
lines the sidewalk
outside the high school
allison calls it medicinal pink, my favorite
color and on twitter
a dozen people can’t identify
the wings of a clitoris
a goat head
catching the foam
of my sneaker
on her porch we strategize mutual
aid and resistance
how to show up with energy
our bodies/their bodies/this
body tired oh so tired
deserves support
the great resistance
in bodies that count
within state lines
bodies within
bodies
chalking medicinal
pink lines
invisible pink lines
talking
