I can only advise



joanne seltzer



you must make your own decision
to report or not report
the incident

don't shower don't change
your clothes don't comb your hair
we must confirm the accusation
has your father done this
before did your mother try
to stop him

you shouldn't have left the tavern
with a stranger did you flirt
did he menace you with a knife
or just a penis did he hurt
your throat

should you tell your husband
your boyfriend
you must make your own decision
I don't know your husband
your boyfriend I can only advise

against gonorrhea

those cigarette burns on your vulva
will heal no one will notice
the scars
