Look the way she cares her self
The way her self
Cares and makes room
For grace
For power
For forgiveness
Look how she holds her own throne
Inside her body—
the way her spirit sits up high the way
her legs enable her standing
the way her belly follows the moon the way her
mind weighs the Worlds that depend upon her spine
Look see how she rules the World
She embraces
with time.
