Seeing for someone
in the house for company because
he what he does to my / Body he doesn’t
want in the house
he hides the women in / He
hides the magazines in somewhere in / Where guests would never go
for company he what he does to me
He wants to keep private a me a secret even then / And even as a boy I knew
My body my / Black body wasn’t
private wasn’t couldn’t be
Secret and even then / I knew
He what he did to me made me invisible / I didn’t have
the blond face of a kidnapped child I had
the face of someone
Who brought it on himself
