Womankind

Definition, difference,

my minefield, mindfield, opencast,

pitfalls, splitcalls, seams as seems,

when Eve dawns, Adamantine rocks.

Care not a fig till turn the leaf,

then unsure, of being, ground.

Vox populi, red banner heads,

shout no to neutral God in word,

but such unneutered by our terms,

both mother, father of our worlds.


Yet womankind my compound trait -

of strangers, yes, mores released -

but find the class describes her case,

a kind of loving, care, support,

in kind her giving of herself

as if fresh mint embraces all;

kinfolk with space for more in Deed.

kindred for a commune girl,

kindling setting fire alight,

kindle reading for new light.

Well done, Stephen! I particularly like and admire the last two lines.
