King Midas

-

I'm sure you'll find it funny That I call you King Midas Since you'll recall the story You once told me, laughing I thought it was silly too But it is also true That everything you touch Turns into gold Not for its price But for what is worth Like my heart when you touched it As the rest of my body Will you continue Transforming all paths we walk through As you've done with the rest of my life Turning it into something worth looking?

Am I less of a woman?

-
Because I haven't borne a child Because I haven't breast-feeded a little creature Because I don't know the pain of life's creation Am I less of a woman? Is my family less of a family for it doesn't include children, for I haven't made my parents, nor my in-laws, proud of their lineage? Because I like my hair short Because I like earning money Because I like being smart Am I less of a woman? Is my home less of a home, when I'm tired and everything's messy, and the kitchen's only piles of plates waiting to be washed, And there's no more clothing than the one I've said I'll wash tomorrow, and food's a piece of yesterday's takeout? Does it make my family less of a family? Does it all make my home less of a home?  Does all of that make me less of a woman? August 8, 2025
