furiously in front of dancing revolutionaries
wary scoundrels
dashing crazy leg expression
noted in diaries read by ladies
petitioned by gentle men with flowers

degrees of and in botany
during another war
Women’s fists
shadows
knuckles
same war

war of mothers
daughters, sons
fists and words
thought and freedom
fists
bloody well aimed
with gentle worn respect
with gentle fists of rage

Repetition of acceptance

Each stanza has its own flow and the change between is delightful.

Echoing passing time and zeitgeist.

I only could do without one word "bloody". it is too strong for me.

my fists

clenching so tight

trying to remain gentle, gentle

fingernails dig into skin

while frowns pierce

at the march the national guardsmen were all old men

the young men are all dying in the war

young women forced to decide between buyin birth control and food

my fists are starting to feel

something less than gentle

I so feel this poem

you have articulated something many of us are experiencing of late, and I think it is best expressed in "gentle fists of rage." It's exactly how I feel.

higher

"with gentle worn respect

with gentle fists of rage"

good good

someone needs to hold up those fists
