Woman Medicine


Women eat

crises
for breakfast,

eat our

hurts

like snake its skin,

desire

at trembling

thighs meeting.
Women eat monsters
for munchies,

fear

like tiny popping

orange roe
oh,

we eat crow and
our own knowing.

Women make places
movable,

our dance unseen

in sweet dark
imagining.
Life set ark in

motion,
circle to straight line,
yin to yang and
Great Mystery

hangs in its

balance.
Women sing
our own existence.

Women gather

Medicine
for living,

gather our
answers
like seeds

their promise,
hope

in the cold and dark.

Women gather

at tide-lines,

high and low,
gather seaweed

and moon's
glow
oh,

we gather threads
for our own weaving.
