HerStory

I don't know this story in my body

But it flows in this collective one

Women before me--grandmother, aunt

Women around me, those I know & those I do not

A Circle of Stories

Across lands, across generations

The strength passed down through the struggle

A knowing

We carry it with us and within us

We speak it, write it, move it, feel it

So it is never lost and neither are we

Collectively, we survive together

in so many ways

Never alone.
