11 - ugly girl



a face which
only a mother could love

---------ugly girl
made of stones
Mississippi
statue

daughter
of the flood

How many men
have found you on
the river bottom,
have taken your body
and turned it
upside down

how many
have made you
their bride

like Ophelia,
shuddering
as she drowned
