Wo(man) poem for 'Poetry Day' Sep 28, 2017

To celebrate Poetry Day, I'd like to a share a new poem with you 'Wo(man)' taken from my new book of poetry '*The Heart's Highway' *which will be available next month.

Wo(man)

Some days are all woman

Some nights are all man

Turn to switch sides at sunrise

Their dance starts once again

Some lake are all woman

Some ponds are all man

I dry off in June light

I dip my toe in the man

Some vases are woman

Some glasses are man

Some plants need caress

Some water needs strong hands

Some lips are all woman

Some eyes are all man

Both see from their hearts

Both hold out their hands

To consider,

                  is a lotus all woman?

                  is a fennel all man?

One silent as the desert

One yearns to understand
