239 Peachtree Ave SW

this is 239 Peachtree Ave SW

and I mean Southwest.

this is where all the greedy girls go,

the communal cavity where we break our bread.

here is where we lay ourselves bare

ostentatious and delicious, like

red strawberries ripe to be picked

in the middle of winter.

here is where we go,

to purge on the sins of our mothers

and in our tide-pulling madness,

become them again.
