She who reconciles the ill-matched threads of her life, and weaves them gratefully into a single cloth— it’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall and clears it for a different celebration
where the one guest is you. In the softness of evening it’s you she receives.
You are the partner of her loneliness, the unspeaking center of her monologues. With each disclosure you encompass more and she stretches beyond what limits her, to hold you.
She wants to meet the serpent Have a chat with Eve in the garden Before she was banished For the sin Of wise curiosity.
She longs to sit with Medusa, Gazing into her eyes While M recounts The whole sordid tale From her point of view.
She craves dinner with Lilith And all her beasts On a beach overlooking a sea of red. They will talk until the full moon rises Then dance with Cybele until dawn
She wishes to hear stories of HER The Great Goddess Stories that lie long buried Beneath a pile of myths and legends Told for millennia in a male voice.
She longs to learn more, so much more About Her lineage Her story Her wisdom From the she’s who came before.
And so she sits quietly waiting. She senses every story of Her Is still here, Hidden in ripples on still water In bird song at dawn And the flicker of flame in the night.
So she sits She listens She waits Holding her longing Close.
