circles …
circles, minus edges, unabrasive, free flowing,
unhindered, no points of departure, nor arrival,
none of the grime of memory.
circles, effortless, untainted by breaths,
rolling across the spaces that shall always be between us …
for women everywhere …
they said she was opinionated.
they castigated her for not following the norm.
they dismissed her for being “loud-mouthed”.
they spoke disparagingly of her for flouting cultural, religious, sectarian narrow-minded claptrap.
they damned her for unclipping her wings, as she soared free into the open skies.
she is you.
and may you always be you …
