Two Poems By Lynthia Julius – South Africa

MAN AS KEY
men are keys
she likes open doors
but he musn’t know
that he’s the key
if a man finds out he’s key
he becomes a lock
GIVE AWAY
should I give you away to the sky
and know you were never mine to keep
you’ll turn into a bird and fly away
and I plead to become a tree
so once again you can sit inside me
on the unsabbath-like Sabbath
a praying mantis flies into me
folds his hands together on my stomach
he doesn’t look me in the eye
I know he’s come to fetch you
