Closet Girls by Aaron Gibson

Give birth to a monster, o beauty
In the palm of your hand
Now pretend, now pretend
Then claim you can’t see her..
Until the end

This is not lily white poetry
But I forget what it’s supposed to be
darkness will grow in you
As it grew in me
This is not benign poetry
You’ll forget who you’re supposed to be
This seed is a child that will grow
And grow
in you

it’s time to pray
turn on the water
It will drowned out suspicion
Drowned out suspicion
So the girls in the closet can stay there with you
Turn on the water
Turn on the water
So the girls can stay with you

I’m too jaded to navigate
My prayers fell to shadow
I’m too jaded too break down these walls
And I cannot live in them
But I gave birth to a monster
I still pretend you can’t see her
And we’ll learn that the taste on our tongues will be bitter for life

And we’ll learn that the taste on our tongues will be bitter
we’ll learn our fake fires won’t last us through winter
We are beaten. We’re ferocious
And our Lilly white eyes misapplied
we’ll learn that the taste on our tongues will be bitter for life
