Minus The Plus


“Handmaid of Patriarchy”  

the garden rezoned

Embattled virility

misogyny cloned

 As Delilah revolts   

 a new Samson on scene

One half of the whole

left to drown in the stream

Each genders new quotient

to minus the plus

A He without Her

— the destruction of us

 

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2025)
