Ode to sharon olds

Sharon oh Sharon

how do i love

thee

oh let me count the ways

i love thee for thy diamond hilted dagger

with which you puncture

inhibition

and all that is taboo

i love thee for thy

razor sharp honesty

and disregard for conventional aesthetics

Sharon oh Sharon

thy quill be mighty as the body that bore child.
