Steady On, Wild Woman

I have learned

that splitting logs,

cultivating body hair,

even watering the garden

with an infusion of stream water

and menstrual blood

doesn’t make you a Wild Woman.

Steady is the new Wild:

The radical act

of raising up the next generation

to best the mistakes of this one,

a need requiring quantities

of Wild mixed with Resilience

and not a small amount of Belief.

Steady on, Wild Woman.
We all rely on you.
