clitoris I

curious fingers cleave downy
flesh in two. juice leaks
down arms as sore fingers
scrape out insides, searching
for the stone-hard-like wishbone.
they break it for luck
& devour what remains.

clitoris II

my under-belly orchid
grows in greenhouse warmth—
dirt-grubbing fingers
explore soil’s dampness
coax out white bulbs, glooming
in hidden hollows—my war flags
           slow unfurling
