Wild Woman
to the wild spirit woman of the carved and sacred desert,
move freely in your primal body glistening with moonrise
dance to the current of the boiling river as the dam collapses
sing to the Earth a song of your place amidst the animals
with head to sky and open chest absorbing sound and sun
awaken to the message living in the Scroll of Heart
held before you the oath to shout while grounded in soil
repeated to the heavens on the wings of sister Raven
from the roots of oak and pine to the shadow of the star
let these words of fire destroy the bonds of submission
in a great battle-cry proclaiming, oh wild spirit woman
that you shall not be tamed
and you shall free yourself in word
