When is the When

When you fall asleep
-fall asleep-
no hesitations.
sunken but not drunken
not because you're tired
but because that is all there is
and that's all there needs to be.

When you call yourself a woman
even when bared, not embarrassed
first your thoughtspast, but your skin
and then even and finally your family.

That is when.

sometimes there almost is a when
but sometimes isn't even most times
and almost isn't ever when.
