My Daughter Asks, at the Dangerous Women Exhibit Your assay of the head stripped Of his body, eyes lewd, vengeful, The loose caress of his hair On your fist, your body's studied threat, Almost answer my daughter's Question: Daddy, why are the women Naked? You put it differently, with Lowered blade, to unbreathing eyes. You wait for him to tender desire As sublime gift again, as Second Coming, As whatever he wants, when He wants, because he wants. Brian A. Salmons Brian A. Salmons is a poet and translator from Orlando, Florida.
