Ruler of realms
Of women infertile
I give them family
While I lose my own.
Singer of songs
The throat of a bird
Strangled by words
Cut from my cloth.
Wrists bound together
Though more by her eyes
Real estate warriors
Lovers of lies.
Female of failure
All that I am
Defined by this one thing
That I cannot do.
Abandoned man
On this sinking ship
Women and children
Go first.

Damn, sorry sweety.
Thinking of you and checking in. I hope there are some happy days for you soon.
This is a stunner.
Jane, this is a powerful piece. I'm sorry for whatever inpired it. But I'm amazed at the beauty with which you expressed it.
This is great stuff, Jane, really great stuff.
