"she puts you in rhythm with you destiny"

by Rachel Lynch


Did you fall in love with her, or the idea of her?

When she rattles in the night and howls from her mensuration,

does your dream girl shatter?

If she yells back at you, defends herself —

do you get soft?

Far too often this year I’ve fallen for weak men,

weak men who want even weaker women.

Where are those who want their woman exalted?

In her power and set on high,

show me the man who will be by my side as I take on the art, spiritual and psychological landscapes of our time.

show me the man who will be by my side as i paint masterpieces, write profound poetry and speak in front of masses.

Then and only then, will I rest my head on his chest.
