"They Shouldn't Have Been in the Park at That Hour"

Woman, Resist
The pine-tipped night
And moonlit waters

Woman, Rescind
The shadows you grasp
Like a child

Woman, Recant
The the tell-tale dewdrops
Nestled like shame
Between your toes

(Safety is the carrot
Rape, the stick)

Lock your doors
Twice fall not for men
Who may hit walk not
Alone and if you need
Night air like a drug if
The moon screams your name
In ancient tongue CRACK
The window STOOP
To the crack woman STOOP
And crane SUCK and fan
The night air to you Woman this
is your Responsibility
