Strong Women

(from Longitudes & Latitudes)

 

I have faith in Strong Women.

we are the poems that don’t belong,

don’t leave a problem un-dealt with, carrying

universes in our hearts,

happiness on our own

 

backs bent against imposturous winds, syndromes

of patriarchal fraudulence.

uncertain, distracted, stressed, Society drives us jealous –

mad for media validation, a mirror equal to our glow,

representation beyond object, beyond sex

 

we use our bodies as we want, assertive,

grounded between passivity and aggression,

pivoting, finding our sweet spots, rolling

otters in a creek / with the punches.

we’re powerful and ask for what we want –

 

to be seen, respected, believed

with the weight given to gods, as

femininity is divined beyond gender

beyond chromosome – woman is a vibe

outside of language

 

we are at our core, expanding

beyond the mould – we are breakers and menders

defiant beyond barrier, gentle creatures

who hear the wail of the world and answer together

who are rallied by its cry.
