thank you
1.
thank you for plotted paths
ancestor-wings i wear
through tears and thunderstorm
large spirited footprints
i stand in illumined shells
talismans i revere in hollow light
2.
we are not clouds
nor fleshy bleeding pumping things
we are not bio-hazard dumps
nor gourds for polluted water
we are women mothers daughters sisters wives
but more we are women
3.
i am here
a bright beam of light
a swirl of mother-chakra
a breath of baobab-breath
to shake and (re)bake the earth-core
to stitch and (re)stitch the vulva seam
to wake with baby-eyes and bid us free
free free free free freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
