Happy #Poetryfriday -- Here is "Concerning My Legs" in print in Rathalla Review back in 2022. Thanks for perhaps reading.
Concerning My Legs by Jessica Whipple They were strewn like Teen magazines across the porch when Mom came at them with a five-cent Bic. “Katie shaves!” she declared, took the first swipe. Trickle of blood dried in the crease of my ankle. Later, the other leg. An unreadiness. Jeans in summer. The word woman. Some words I didn’t know: Feminist, misogyny reasons why that one girl in high school didn’t shave. I grew into smooth legs tipped with strappy sandals. She covered hers in cargo pockets and flattened her breasts. We learned about the baggage we were supposed to be carrying, heavy like history binders. A decade later, amniotic fluid soaked my jeans. Husband rushed me to the hospital. No time to shave. Legs strewn across the bed like parenting magazines, I apologized for the stubble, not yet knowing how much work these legs would do without my asking. In that realest moment while pain like heat took my breath, I felt the oldest rocks pushing forth from the earth and I was the first woman. I was the only woman.
