Virginia Mariposa Dale

Husbands like dead roses


smell too much of musty curtains

bearing the security of the sepulchre

the happiness of arranging

color-coded tea cups all in a row


For my pagan willful soul

I will not be a wife

therein lies too much submission and strife

Give me lover, give me equals

between whom love reigns unharnessed

wherein one can find

happiness without a bind.
