Oh! Woman.

Through the City of Women’s Gates

What are you – woman?
A vision
A dream
A passion
A sin.

A flower
A tower
A color that –
Changes every hour.

A beacon
A temptation
A baton –
Of redemption

A hog
A dog
A fog
A log

A mention
A tension
Apprehension?
Revelation?

A tide
A ride
A pride –
Astride.

An epitome
A filthy gnome
A place called home.
A picture worn

A storm
A norm
A scorn
Adorn

A relic
Psychedelic
Acrylic
Oriental vase.

Oh! Woman – who are you?
An idea
An emotion
A spirit called –
Devotion.
