Not Averse

Microgynon

Defy the moon suck, Cnut unheeded,

All that she did with packet, pop, superseded.

No heave-some ebb and flow.

No cramping bend to lunar bow.

No woman ruled by orbing tyrant queen;

Umbilical tangen skywards, cut clean.

I am the moon-child broken free,

Losing mother and maternity.
