Response to Proverbs 7-9
Oh Wisdom!
How dare I approach you as a bride?
My love – my philosophy –
is not even worth banning;
no rule against women
laying with women
“as with a woman”.
Wisdom!
Sometimes I hear you shouting
above the bustle of the streets
but I am not the son
to whom you are entrusted.
And yet, Wisdom –
when you open your home
it is to all who are simple
that we may be rebuked
and, like the wise, love our rebukers.
