woman, and the gift of possessing the enshrined love of life with new spawn where once the ripple of the lake would be akin to a wrinkle that might discourage the male narcissus from learning self-love; oh but the tears of cunning and the sly smile!*

for a woman demands a child
to give her an explanation of
narcissus, as man does too when
he's taught discipline in excess of
providing a body shape
for magnets to become active
and revel in the pursuit of
sight and blinding of the bulging wombs
to state fatherhood in expectancy
without harnessing riches but an ideal
of mutual ageing and mutual strength of
equalled sexes.
