Xenophobic Flipside
Let's workshop this poem about the silent strength of countless women who stand as the steadfast guardians of home and tradition
Xenophobic Flipside
Waving their warring men
farewell with waterworks,
the maternal forces hang back—
those conservative pillars
among humans—to caretake
the homes and the traditions,
hearths of odyssey, that give
reason for return; that make
return even count as return.
