Women
Like being sent to
Frolic around masked men
To consummate sin, ‘devil’s work’
They say.
No no-
vice to God’s tongue,
As barren as moonshine,
Cynical like bible scriptures
Unsaid.

Unsaid
Scriptures bible
Like cynical moonshine.
As barren as God’s tongue to vice?
No, no.
Say- they
Work devil’s sin,
Consummate to men
Masked, around to sent being-like
Women.
