Oh, it's different now

I write about women because that is my experience, and I dare not generalize.

Oh, it's different now.
Women writers
Do not need to hide
Behind initials
Or even men's names
To be published
To be read.
Oh
It's different now.
Now
It hides underground
With earthworms
But still
It has to emerge
Somewhere
Like rain-soaked ground
Won't allow it
Contained
Any longer.
