Sallomé’s Womanifesto
we are carrying
parasols and babies and
garter belts and toe shoes and
dangly earrings and microphones and
laundry and grown men and
nations and sisters and daughters and
daughters
on hips and backs
their weight bringing us closer to earth
& our love sends us soaring
to outer space
we
are aliens
traveling to the galaxies in
the eyes of our mothers
transporting new life via
gamma rays
all in time for moon circles and
ritual and red tent gatherings
lifting the hearts of
forever injured athletes
scraped kneed children
& motherless daughters
offer your trust to us
& we will
(in our alien way)
discover all your ailments
&
send you away as our
witch/sisters
did
healed
