The Night of Brett Kavanaugh’s Hearing
I hate that we share a name.
A name that questions my gender.
An advantage, I’ve been told.
Tonight I don’t feel like an advantage.
Tonight on our walk, my dog
is attacked by some other hound
who caught her scent.
I scream for it to stop.
I kick and pull until
she is safe again.
Our bodies shaking
under nameless stars.
