women
fold yourself up
like a wee origami box
delicate and lovely
pink azaleas sketched
on only the exterior
once you’re as wee
as you can make yourself
fold yourself in half again
and again
and again
until we can’t see you
especially can’t hear you
you may
threaten to burst
but don’t
and remain pretty
and easy
and light

This seems a tad sardonic. Beautiful, though, and a little precious too.

What a beautiful poem. And how true the expectations of us to be small and without mind if our own, even today.

Reminds me of women in days gone by, maybe the fifties. Reminds to pray that it isn’t so today. Beautiful words, lovely descriptions of something kind of sad.

I really like how delicate and pretty this feels on the surface. And the line “you may threaten to burst… but don’t” sums up the underlying message so well.

“and remain pretty
and easy
and light”
Ain’t it true.

The image of the origami box is exquisite. It totally feels like that so much of the time. Like, everything we contain, we must fit it into a smaller and smaller space. <3
