WHAT DID YOU FIND SO BEAUTIFUL?

My feet had not begun to walk,
     my mouth to speak,
I was no earthly good at laughing,
even so…
my eyes could not see clearly what they saw,
my hands were still too soft to fight,
but even so…
I was still a crawler on the ground,
a creature making words which only I could catch,
so how could you have won
     by beating me?
how was my loss your victory?
     my girl your man?
was it my babyhood that made you brave?
please tell me, what was it in the end
which tempted you into my little bed?  
what did you find so beautiful?
my hips, my chest, my long hair or my legs?
my scent of pee or sweat?
I could call you Killer, Rapist, you who married me
     to earth…
but oh please, tell me on my life,
what did you find so beautiful?
