. LA MUJER


I was

Supposed to tamp down these
Words

Hold a few men
And ideas
Hostage

What I did
Was become

Benumbed

Dumb
Struck in your reckoning

Holding my ear
To your ground

This swelling birdbath of light
The waiting room inside loosens its love

I figured what you had
Was not mine



-Patricia Gott
