This is an improv off of Medbh McGuckian's "Gateposts."
I took the line "A woman ripens best underground" and went with it.
A woman ripens best underground,
like a carrot. She needs cool, dark
surroundings to let all the flavors
ruminate. Dirt helps the estrogen
build- She can become a woman
only by being alone. Carrots don't
see other carrots until uprooting
from the ground.
