Cleo at the White Owl

by Sarah Smith

When the long grass rustles
like a whore's red satin1
Then you've got to have a girl
You've got to have a girl
When the sheep look good
When your daughter looks good
When your wife looks good
Now you've got to have a girl
You've got to have a girl
Like me.
I'm the one missing teeth
with a knife-scar on her chin
Thighs like bread dough
Legs like a saddle roll
Bowed and shapeless
Ankle to calf:
I'm the one with the laugh
Years ago in Rochester, when I was a millhand, my first boss said,
"Prudence, you're ugly. No man is gonna have you. You'd be better off
dead."
I am all the women
you dreamed of having
the girl who wants to have you
Not worth having
even when you've got to
But you want to and you're going to
When you've got to have a girl
You've got to have a girl
Like me.
