Call Me a Strawberry

in #poem7 years ago (edited)

My nose is like a strawberry.
Maybe the blackheads are actually
Ovaries ready to give birth
To more blackheads.

Are blackheads
Really ovaries on my face?

Am I giving birth?

Ovaries are called Achnese,
Which is not so different from acne.
Have you seen a blackhead up close?

It is horrifying.

It’s as if I can squeeze out the pus
But each birth another and another
Like a blackhead inside a blackhead
Like a seed inside of a seed.

I prefer the look of a strawberry.
Call me a strawberry
Please!
