What Mature Women Understand... Poem by Linda Coker

What Mature Women Understand...



I feel the heat between us-
Is it passion? raw desire?
With all the pop and sizzle
Of an orangey-blue wood fire?

I know my pulse has quickened
Yes, my heart, I feel it racing
And such a warmth flows through me
Each time that we’re embracing

Then comes the realization
The origin, the true heat cause
Was not anticipated-
Those vile flames of menopause.
