We are the women
who run with wolves
We are the wild women
of the world
We are the women
who wipe wet bottoms
We are the mothers
of the world
We are the women
who watch and wait
We are the wives
of the world
We are the women
who weep over wounds
We are the healers
of the world
We are the women
who winnow and weave
We are the workers
of the world
We are the women
watchful and wary
We are the guardians
of the world
We are the women
weary of war
We are the widows
of the world
We are the whimsical
wanton wild women
We are the women
of the world
