Cat Calls

You call to me

your voice laced with sexuality

that I do not permit,

do not invite.

Your eyes burn —

but not with desire.

Ignited by

something else

more base.

You’re broken.

Stripped of title

stripped of power

stripped of what you think is owed to you

as a man.

You look upon me to reclaim that

to show that you can still be desired

though society throws you to the curb.

Well, I have only one thing to say to you…

Fuck off.

Don’t make me a part of your

power trip

your sick game

your misplaced pride.

 

Go away.

 

My body                                                                                                           So the next time

   wasn’t made                                                                                                          you think

      so that you                                                                                                      to hail me

        could use it                                                                     with your kitty cat claws

      to feel better                                                                                            I ask that you

about yourself.                                                                                                      think again.
