Ancient Young Woman
We are the moon’s
Ancient young woman

We do not put wrinkles on you because we know you will not know death soon
But who are we to be shy to show time on your body?
Who are we to look down on the beauty of an old woman?

Ancient young woman

Keeping you beautiful to keep you small
Keeping you young to keep you naive
When you are the one who watched us grow
from creatures without breath
*
Ancient young woman

You - hunting
You - torn apart
You - the womb breaking to water earth with life
You, who will see the death of us
before drifting away to an orbit all your own
Pocketing the myths we wrote you
On a journey only you can wonder about
