Female Form

Whereas reason slips

down the strait of man’s waist,

on a woman

it comes to rest

in protrusions of soft anxiety.

Boundless intuition

saddles the curves

of the female body.

The curvature of hips and chest

are best used for sound logic;

they’re handles

of order in the world

and guards

to the central organ

of the Earth.

Men think without this roundness.

Their thoughts too often catch on the bone

of individual desire.

Women have no such hardness.

From slender sloping necks

to the roundness in heels and toes

ideas slide

without snagging.

Women are impregnated

with foresight.

It pulses through the body

keeping a woman’s past

streaming not far behind her in billowing locks.

She bears a constant reminder

that the future grows

from her mind.
