Ladies
With their midnight inks
Urn their emotions
In sacred places
Set like traps
On paper
Their baited lines
Fish me in
To their pathos
Picking my lock
Memories
Repressed release
Too pointed
Too poignant
Too, too intuitive
Tentatively
I taste
Their manna

Listening to every heart

We learn from one another...
true sisters of heart are
never hesitant to share both
their luxuries...
nor their tragedies.

That is why we have history...
which of course should really be
spelled herstory.

Excellent piece, this.

The quiet hour, begins with a pen. Yes. We give Batman something to get dressed for. Lol. I love this write, from title to finish. Purrfect.

rwood-I'm so glad you read and liked this poem. It really is my compliment to the women poets that write so deep from their less than happy places and can take us there in a pen stroke. Thank you for giving this one your time and attention. ebm

Ps wanted to mention that normally I don`t care for center-justification (just a personal taste) yet here it works wonderful, imo, since it comes out a concrete poem, echoing the shape of the subject
