As Only Women Do
On this rare blue supermoon
in Pisces your birth sign
my thoughts gather around you
My arms want to engulf you
wrap you up keep you safe
from the preying men that pace
and think they have the right to take
what is not theirs
No means No in any language
No No NO!
Actions leave footprints on DNA
buises on flesh
handprints on necks
all over the body outside and in
Cascading screams fall
on deaf ears
No means No in any language
No No NO!
No means No in any language
No No NO!
Your heart tied to mine
Blood of my blood
life of my life
closest of kin
I’d die for you
swap places with you if I could
From the days when you were still small
I could see and feel your pain
I would take that all away
if I could
Solid you stand yet fragile
Warrior not victim
Lioness willing to do the work.
The Womens work that only she can do
the Womens work that only we can do
hold each other
cradle
tend to one anothers wounds
Stand our ground in necessity
stand our ground in love
and do what only Women can
and love as only Women love
and do as only Women do
and love as only Women can
and do as only Women do
