lye
my family keeps calling me
gay because i write poetry.
my shoulders need massaging
i tell you. your hands lift
off my neck into my hair.
obsessively, i wash
windows and doors. you
fix the bed, the sheets
lie open, used.
my face burns red
with shame. i walk away.
your arms grasp the way
they do on the nights
you call me beautiful.
