Poetry by Kate Lewington

Body

i had fallen into a hate/hate relationship 
with my body 
during puberty -
it was just a body 
and i told the boys 
who were interested 
that too
it’s just a body 
in my innocence 
not yet understanding 
what a boy could do 
to a girl who had 
little regard 
for the body that carried her.
