Pansies (Lawrence)/Wonderful Spiritual Women

​
WONDERFUL SPIRITUAL WOMEN
The wonderful thoughtful women who make such good companions to a man
are only sitting tight on the craters of their volcano
and spreading their skirts.

Or like the woman who sat down on a sleeping mastodon
thinking he was a little hill, and she murmured such beautiful things
the men stood around like crocuses agape in the sun.

Then suddenly the mastodon rose with the wonderful lady
and trampled all the listeners to a smush.
