reflection

By Amie Souza Reilly

and she stands in front of the mirror again, repeating
only whores shave above the knee,
that dress isn’t made for childbearing hips,
you need to wear a slip under that
you need to wear a baggy shirt over leggings
you need to be sure your hem goes past your fingertips
running would help running would help running would help.
