Carus
to all the women who
dummy their power to
solve the world’s problems
quietly, under the radar -
their autumn complexion
a strange eloquence
among illusory phenomena,
rebelling against fantasies,
little more than estimates
of what they could be,
if only
they’d always love men
who deem themselves worth
the trouble of being worthy of
only your best and youngest appearance:
my crow’s feet salute you

rebelling against fantasies,
little more than estimates
of what they could be,
if only

my crow’s feet salute you

Dear L,
And let’s not forget the grey hair to accompany those well earned crows feet. Full on salute to the beauty of aging all over the globe.
Fabulous piece. H🌷

I hope when we write together I can meet you in a kind of energy like this, the soulful eloquence is captivating. The title reminds me of Icarus.
