The Birth of Eve

The birth of Eve: cosmic and grounded at the same time.

Light stretching gently into the beautiful dark.

Less jarring, more complex.

Roots, woven in strength and purpose outside of simple dominion.

A recognition of belonging within nature, a part, not apart.

It’s something we women have held in our hearts,

since the beginning.

Dedicated to my Aunt Barb, a force of nature, a generous and tenacious spirit.

the Myth of Diana

Despite reactionary rage, fully-coated anger,

a full inflicted fit of self importance, willingness to reck and ruin,

destruction for the promise of successful conquest,

Softness plays the long game.

Long after the most bitter of battles,

sometimes Softness wins.

Hopes on humanity, nature, and our place in this world we continue to influence.
