WomenBY LOUISE BOGAN

Women have no wilderness in them,   They are provident instead,   Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts   To eat dusty bread.   

They do not see cattle cropping red winter grass,   They do not hear   Snow water going down under culverts   Shallow and clear.   

>>>

>>>

They wait, when they should turn to journeys,   They stiffen, when they should bend.   They use against themselves that benevolence   To which no man is friend.   They cannot think of so many crops to a field   Or of clean wood cleft by an axe.   Their love is an eager meaninglessness   Too tense, or too lax.   

>>>

They hear in every whisper that speaks to them   A shout and a cry.   As like as not, when they take life over their door-sills   They should let it go by.

WILDERNESS

Women have no wilderness in them,

PROVIDENT

They are provident instead, Content in the tight hot cell of their heartsTo eat dusty bread

THEY DONOT SEE THE CATTLE CROPPING RED

WINTER GRASS

They do not hear   Snow water going down under culverts   Shallow and clear.   

CULVERT

They wait, when they should turn to journeys,   They stiffen, when they should bend.   

They use against themselves that benevolence   To which no man is friend.   

They cannot think of so many crops to a field   Or of clean wood cleft by an axe.   Their love is an eager meaninglessness   Too tense, or too lax. 

They hear in every whisper that speaks to them   A shout and a cry.   

As like as not, when they take life over their door-sills   They should let it go by.
