[ the seventh sense ]
women
who build nations
learn
to love
men
who build nations
learn
to love
children
building sand castles
by the rising sea”
in The Collected Poems
[ stations ]
some women wait for themselves
around the next corner
and call the empty spot peace
but the opposite of living
is only not living
and the stars do not care.
some women wait for something
to change and nothing
does change
so they change
themselves.
in Our Dead Behind
“revolution is not a one time event.”
Lorde, A (1934-1992)
