Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Tailor of Mankind
Ā Ā He thought he would be a tailor of men.
Ā Then, “Woman!” he thought,
Ā laughing as he
Ā Ā Ā extracted a rib, seaming
hills and valleys, taking a subtle tuck
Ā Ā Ā here, folding an excessive curve there
and there. Smoothing it over, shortening
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā a length. Extending another.
Ā Ā Ā Making them fit and not fit.
Ā Not a perfect pair but rather
thesis and antithesis,
yin
Ā Ā and
yang.
Ā Ā Anima
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā and
Ā Animus
Ā Ā Ā he shaped into each
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā in different quantities.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Then, he clothed perfection,
Ā Ā Ā Ā sheathing it and obscuring
Ā differences to be discovered
Ā Ā under falling leaves, in darkness,
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā setting a whole world in motion.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Then he wept.
The prompt today is tailor.
