Tones Of Sepia Madness

Much to be said of passionate women,
who grew with words as their first lovers,
and tried to blend in a world of vanilla
that defied the texture of their beings.
Call her bad mother,
abandoning wife,
say she was faithful to none,
and then read the words she left
brimful, evocative
and know that she never betrayed
the first lover she ever knew,
the words that seduced her,
and fed her,
and made her mad and sane,
and whisper of something
that sounds like betrayal
unless you are a woman
like Elinor Wylie.
