A Discovery

Oh women
With your squiggly lines
You misbehave and can't remember
How not to judge

So in a room with pillows
And more women
You sigh out of your corsets
What a relief!
How you say, "Thank you
For your permission! "
Eyes round as doberge cakes
You hear the voices
The other women
Who say "Oh!
I am not crazy?"

No, you are not!
You are wide and consummate
What is it in you that longs to be nurtured?
Let it have air!
Give it to the world
And be as you are
As you are
As you are

It is not so easy to trust
To be here and now
But believe, please, that below you
Is a latticework
Of women
With wide and consummate hands
