49. WINTER INCARNATION
Something most men
never know:
That women are strongest
and most spiritual
At that time.
But then I have even
met some women who don't know it
But not the women
of our culture --
Women of the other
world
Whose values are
all cross-threaded
With the patriarchal
hodgepodge.
She's a young virgin
For real
Strong and pure-hearted
And very wise
And I think she is
courageous
With her crystal
wand
And velvet cloak
On this cold December
dawn...
