He stirred her moons—
left them pulsing like distant stars.

Do we marry only to
proliferate new earths?
And to make the soil
speak again?
Do those blood-filled sacks
women carry—
ventilating tiny breaths—
define real love?

Or is love what remains—
when nothing is born?

Just because I wear the
name 'woman', doesn't mean
I'll bare myself to you—
like the moon offering
herself to the night.
I'd rather remain—an
unopened bottle of wine.

I am not a pour—
I'm a preservation.

We lose our true selves—
no longer misted like a morning bud—
the thickened, tangled relationships
bury seeds inside our faith,
turning it dark.

—this is the quiet inheritance of womanhood.

We compress every feeling
into a smile—a rainbowed
universe painted across the
crescent of our mouths,
because the cosmos fits
between two lips and the

world unfurled— at the
curve of a divine mouth.
"smile"

You placed that long,
humming conduit in me
and I jolted, a surge in the
dam, my limbs stuttering
like loose wires, no rhythm,
no balance —just current.

My body answered—  
before I did.

The womb creates the
bones so does the grave.

The flesh — is only
borrowed.
