“Handmaid of Patriarchy”
the garden rezoned
Embattled virility
misogyny cloned
As Delilah revolts
a new Samson on scene
One half of the whole
left to drown in the stream
Each genders new quotient
to minus the plus
A He without Her
— the destruction of us
(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2025)
Polar Lies
Perception
is the potion
where pudding
holds the proof
The details
get bedeviled
Martini’s
all Vermouth
A good girl
or a bad girl
the wind
can blow both ways
Looking right
or looking left
the truth
— not on display
(The New Room: May, 2025)
