what did she say?

what does wise woman say?
she is ancient

fertile
fecund

births herself daily
feeds herself first

sleeps on moss mattresses
warm skin
sun as blanket

names each star
remembers who she is
(inhale)
remembers who she is
(exhale)

lets them come and go
feels soft belly and smiles
sings with owl at night
