Water. Women & Water

In the bath
I am cognizant of the fact
that
I am s u r r o u n d e d  by w a t e r
I pray to the waters
I sing to the waters
I weep for the waters
I talk to the rivers, lakes and creeks that I know and that know me

I wish them well

I pray for their continuation
I give thanks for their creation
ask them to show me how to be
willing
fluid
determined
I often wonder if I am alone in this act
I like to imagine
Women e v e r y w h e r e  in their homes
Praying
Singing
Weeping
for water
that way,
maybe,
just maybe we stand a chance

in spirit,
