Poetry
by Peter Vullo
The Women and The MoonThe moon has dropped its eggs into the branches. We have picked them and put them inside. Put them inside.
Our bodies are baskets, intricate woven things, knots and elbows, feet and thread, deadly headdress.
Our bodies are the movement of water. Waves within us. We’ve taken the tide inside. The tide inside.
The moon, she’s dropped her eggs into our nests, feathers and all, blood shell. We call to her, “Moon, may you open?” And without a word, round and big, she fills the earth. —peter vullo
