A Poem a Day (416): Woman



Woman
 
It’s a warning: a blink
from the lighthouse.
 
The man in the street,
he won’t turn his head,
 
let you walk on by;
you’re on his list.
 
It’s a game of control
and, woman, you stood up.
 
Everything you do
just makes him angry.
 
The real is getting lost,
falling out, like driftwood
 
on waves of data strewn.
We all sink a little deeper
 
because the lighthouse
needs to open its eyes.
