# (section 1)
**Phenomenal Woman**
## (subsection 1.1)
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
## (subsection 1.1)
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
## (subsection 1.2)
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
## (subsection 1.3)
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
# (Section 2)
**Refusal**
## (subsection 2.1)
Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die.
