WomenBYLOUISE BOGAN

Women have no wilderness in them,They are provident instead,Content in the tight hot cell of their heartsTo eat dusty bread.

They do not see cattle cropping red winter grass,They do not hearSnow water going down under culvertsShallow and clear.>>>

>>>They wait, when they should turn to journeys,They stiffen, when they should bend.They use against themselves that benevolenceTo which no man is friend.They cannot think of so many crops to a fieldOr of clean wood cleft by an axe.Their love is an eager meaninglessnessToo tense, or too lax.

>>>They hear in every whisper that speaks to themA shout and a cry.As like as not, when they take life over their door-sillsThey should let it go by.

CULVERT

They wait, when they should turn to journeys,They stiffen, when they should bend.

They use against themselves that benevolenceTo which no man is friend.

They cannot think of so many crops to a fieldOr of clean wood cleft by an axe.Their love is an eager meaninglessnessToo tense, or too lax.

They hear in every whisper that speaks to themA shout and a cry.

As like as not, when they take life over their door-sillsThey should let it go by.
