I Am Working On Myself For Myself By Myself

Every woman walks in me
The school girl
The career woman
The single lady
The Mrs.
The college student
The independent
The liberal
The believer
The skeptic
The driven
The broken
The carrying
The barren
Each archaic version of female
Ancestral spirits flood and flow
Carrying the genomes and markers
Of travelers who have traversed
This strange world and spread out
Like an unstoppable force always
Whispering their wisdom
From every rock and tree
Sometimes in thunder
Sometimes in the breeze
Every woman walks in me.
