I am Woman

I am the creation of centuries of women

who are likely to tend to their own backs.

I am from a line of women

Who have established mouths that slow kiss sugar.

Smooth after

A full body sting

My bloodline flows,

Smooth after

Seeing their homes break into a bloody war dance.

I was created out of the bones of women

who birthed armed forces of blood.

Straight from the hands of God.
