The Women Are Weaving


The night is hushed
The women are weaving
Hair piled upon their heads
Naked napes
They talk in whispers
Weaving
Their lover’s names
The women labor
Tying knots
Speaking their lover’s names
Over and over
They are weaving swollen vaginas
Pursue their lover’s thoughts
And bring them home
Tied in knots

The women are weaving
They sigh
Lifting breasts skyward
Adrenalin rushes from heart to brain
They pause in subliminal sensations
Sweeten celebrations
Exhale blindly . . .

The women are weaving
They tie their lovers
Velvet, lace, and satin
Hovers over anxious flesh
Enmeshing their lover’s hushed gaze
Awed in the melody of their grace
And delicacy.

Women weave
Their lover’s hearts
In a ballet of yarn
To the Goddess of Knots
Their lovers gaze in horned wonder
They slip
Weak into submission
In their lover’s arms
And weave no more.
