Gravity

Elizabeth Stansberry

She came in,
tiger´s teeth chattered.
She never asked for
This Gravity.
Some women were born
To
move shadows
and harness lightening.
Some women were born
To
Be Alone
On a pedestal
In the middle
Of
The high desert
Speaking tongues
And
Taming snakes.
This woman.
She was born
To
Hold magic in her mouth.
Do not conjure
That
Muse.
