the blue of the sky

it is blue like the sky at times.
i ponder its masculinity. that is 
what my mother said about it 

such a comment. she says a lot 
of such things. a guilt only she 
can bring. first how do i sleep 

with no man. then something 
how can i be this: not have
a house. i stood still when she 

said this and said if i wanted 
a house - i would have a house 
then when the man said why 

are you here - is it cuz you 
can't - your own place. i  
stood again. said the same 

thing -if i want it - i'll get it 
and i was gone.
