Oh, Mother
Of the singing specie
Of the water specie
Feed me life
For my soil is an ocean
Of water and of blood
Yet, I lay caked and cracked
By misogyny’s drought
Mother, sing to me
Of the feminist specie
Mix me, Mother, a shot of brains
A stew of liver
A bread of skins
Let me grow nails
To pull myself up
Chunk by chunk
Organ by organ
Of water and of blood
Sing, Mother
Forever
That in your chalice of earth
All skin is friend
All blood is red
All prayer is heard
