My goodness, Shannon! I found myself giggly at the surprising qafiya (is that the right name for the "xxone" sounds?)—not "LOL" giggly but just the joy of discovery that comes with reading a great line. And oh, the poem captures so much of the terrible assumptions of patriarchy. Thanks for sharing it (and the lit match under your name.)
A ghazal for reading without a seatbelt or safety helmet. This is the time for this. We need voices we have no defense from that serve up wisdom warm and alarming. Thank you, Shnnan.
