Moon for Our Daughters

Moon for Our Daughters

Moon that is linking our daughters'
Choices, and still more beginnings,
Threaded alive with our shadows,

These are our bodies' own voices,
Powers of each of our bodies,
Threaded, unbroken, begetting

Flowers from each of our bodies.
These are our spiraling borders,
Carrying on your beginnings,

Chaining through shadows to daughters,
Moving beyond our beginnings,
Moon of our daughters, and mothers.
