the lotuses of her eyes
up the street,
waiting for you to come,
resting her breasts on the gate
like a pair of lucky pots.”

“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
