wild women of relatively newfound {freedom}

…

of speech,
we hold these voices
to be self
-evident, created to sing.

we have the right to bare
arms,
calves,
midriffs
and dance
under an ardent
(or nonexistent) moon.

of assembly,
we hold our sacred sisters
close, hands clasped.

we have the right to cast
our vote,
our river stones,
our violent crowns.

and when someone tells us
otherwise, we have the right
to remain
………..(smiling)
silent.
