Laura Lidker - Ah..MEN

There are no men here…
whispers my misguided heart
from depths of the well where a leg is broken
a broken heart even so.
There are no men here…
some shadowy giants masquerading at
play, shrinking to their size at first ray
of daylight.
There are no men here…
lands lie unconquered, burnt out, wasted
like this love barely blossomed and of itself
imagined…
ripped out of the soft soil bosom
now wilting while sighing at the moon
there are no men here.
