Widder Woman

Widder Woman

hate boxes and neat little slots
pigeon holes burn my behind
all those safe-making creations 
that pacify the peeps. 

stuff an unknown quantity
into a bag of mundane
catch me first.

if I must be widow then a merry one
will I be and 
as soon as my sciatica clears up
I streak the whole damn street.

I hated labels always have and neighbours, even just a couple, are always peering. Glad you love this one so do I. I hated being designated a widow.
