The Rose
Christina Rossetti
The lily has a smooth stalk,
Will never hurt your hand;
But the rose upon her brier
Is lady of the land.

There’s sweetness in an apple tree,
And profit in the corn;
But lady of all beauty
Is a rose upon a thorn.

When with moss and honey
She tips her bending brier,
And half unfolds her glowing heart,
She sets the world on fire.

how did you know
i had a weakness
for dykes
with short hair
and broken hearts

for women
who walk down the street
like they have a right
to be there

or maybe
a baby butch
bold enough to take
what she wants
without asking

BUTCH
BULLDAGGER
BALL-BUSTING
D-Y-K-E

did i scare you
did they hurt you

with those names?

come here, honey,
let me show you just how
sweet
those words
can sound

in the mouth
of a woman
who wants you
---Susan Kane, from "the femme mystique"

Lady_Wu....and baby, whoever you are, i want you
