What Woman Wants
janine canan
First woman does womanly things,
then she does what man does (even better).
But as she pushes against his brutal metal,
the more she wants to be woman,
enjoying the world as it is.
Woman wants to touch the leaf,
speak in growing ripples,
blushing with joy at her thoughts
that come from so far away --
a miracle is what woman wants.
Woman wants to plant the seed,
see the dream, sink into sleep.
To breathe! -- joy the song
she hums as she walks in love,
tuned to the Goddess in everyone.
So come to woman, and let us begin again --
stars blazing the void with light.
Then in the ceaseless flow,
as one moment dissolves in the next,
you will find your heart's joy.
