In the second book of the Poems from the Attic poetry series, Alicia Bayer explores topics such as marriage, sexuality, sexual abuse and the labels we give women.
Ever After
it is twenty
years later. snow white,
as she is still known,
is thirty-two. she sees
the pleating of the skin
around her eyes, the droop
of his favorite breasts,
the lumps beneath
what was always firm. she sits
in front of an old mirror,
inherited from a woman once young.
Alicia Bayer had published over a hundred poems and performed poetry readings in person and on local television before putting her poems away to get her sh*t together, get a proper job, become a respected author and raise five children. Over twenty-five years later, she rescued her boxes of words and compiled them into a series of books in the Poems from the Attic series. The first book of the series, Crazy Broken Thing, explored issues of mental illness. The Minnesota State Arts Board helped fund this project.
of his favorite breasts,
the lumps beneath
what was always firm. she sits
in front of an old mirror,
inherited from a woman once young.
in the next kingdom, cinderella
has cast off her slippers.
her feet, swollen from pregnancies and winters,
are constant reminders of
what no longer fits.
briar rose takes prozac
but still cannot sleep without fear
of who she'll wake up to,
who she'll wake up as.
the princes, with their little pot bellies
are eying each other's daughters
and the queens
those nasty bitches
just laugh and laugh.
