I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm looking for help identifying a poem. A friend of mine was trying to remember its title, but could only come up with the following details:

It's a female speaker and she's talking about back when she was young, "when the language of men was all the same to me" or something like that, then she describes a man she was involved with, and he asks her "do you know what an ostomy is?" and there's the description of the bag, and then he kisses her and shows her "where grace resides"

I'm sorry if that's vague, but does that sound familiar to anyone?

I tried a bit of googling (key words: ostomy "where grace resides" poem ) and found a reference to Robin Behn, from the book "Articulations: The Body and Illness in Poetry"; ed. Jon Mukand. note: Tumblr was of no help.

Hopefully it is not a blind alley.

Good luck.
