#she who

[sawahanyar]

She, who? -

We met

What did you see?

She is a beauty

She is a main character of a whole life story

We met again

What did you see?

Is she a person living ?

Is she an empty space with a name?

Ah, We met, again

What did you see?

Is she still a person breathing?

Is she just a mass of air moving?

Hey, We meet again

Again and again, again

Do you see her?

Never

[feministquotes]

the woman who has the tattoo of a bird the woman who puts things together the woman who squats on her haunches the woman whose children are all different colors singing I am the will of the woman the woman my will is unbending when She-Who-moves-the-earth will turn over when She Who moves, the earth will turn over

Judy Grahn, from her poem "She Who" (1972)

[learningfromthehands-blog]

The most blonde woman in the world one day threw off her skin her hair, threw off her hair, declaring 'Whosoever chooses to love me chooses to love a bald woman with bleeding pores.' Those who came then as her lovers were small hard-bodied spiders with dark eyes and an excellent knowledge of weaving. They spun her blood into long strands, and altogether wove millions of red webs, webs red in the afternoon sun. 'Now,' she said, 'Now I am expertly loved, and now I am beautiful.'

Judy Grahn, from: "She Who"
