It seems that women
are at their best at night
when all the caring
stops

In the midnight hour they begin
to unravel the well-placed intentions
all the feelings held for
the day

And they weep
weep, for understanding
weep, to be understood
weep, in reverence

Since  tears
are all they can call
their own . . .
