We women of worth
doubt of which we hold
close, let fester,
how then to lock it away
if not massmurder?
To one,
to which, to whom
of wealth is a lover’s lust
and love
probably-possibly-perhaps
yet not yet counted upon
the doubt of unknowing,
thrills and thwarts.
And her worth?
On the fence
‘tween nurture
and slaughter.
