a million kind of women

There are a million kinds of women in the world
a million kinds million kinds
in the world there are a million kinds
a million kinds of women

Some honeydrip love
feel like you did
when your breath smelled titwarm
on mother’s milk

Some cradle girltime fears
deep into womanhood
& form walls & firebreaks
& roots to stumble on

Some pass on the street
smelling of fresh cut cucumber
or butterfly laden
tangerine blossoms

Some achingly beautiful
& some ache for beauty
& some ache from beauty
& some never know

Some sharp edged & bright bladed
& they cut
& cut & you
beg to bleed

there are 2 kinds of women in the world
2 kinds
those I’ve forgotten &
those I can’t forget
