This stomach is made of leather
Can stretch far enough
To carry babies for nine months.
This skin is elastic!
Can dance Kwasa Kwasa like a yoyo

This stomach is brave
Survived six Caesarian sections
To produce those children
This stomach can be stiff
Enough to fight back
All that pressure from a thrusting rapist.

This chocolate-brown stomach has many colours
Gets darker as it goes south
North it’s a deep purple, the colour of erect nipples
Grey-brown as it reaches to the armpit.

The slippery skin like a puff-adder can be cold
Particularly when no one cares no more
The damn thing can be soft
So soft to turn on over a stressed man
This stomach of multiple behaviour.
A place of digestion in action.
This amazing stomach.
