Dusted with determination,
her bent old body plows
a furrow in the field of time.
She has bled into the earth,
and eaten unleavened bread
with sacremental wine.
Old Mother, seasoned with sorrow,
proud of her pain and the daily
acts of contrition that may
bring absolution,
or may crumble like the gauzy
wings of moths.

"A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Rooevelt

Well penned ....that final run is perspective in it's deepest form!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie
