Wolf Runner

Waits in the forest

I see her
standing majestic in the silent forest
waiting for the transformation to begin.

She knows
that within the soul of every woman
the feral female waits
for the trappings of male civilization to disintegrate
beneath the weight
of ego's inequality and dogma.

She understands
that when women discover their sacred power
and control their own destinies
material and spiritual civilization will merge
and humanity will accept the blessings
of its own duality.

Only then
will the wild places of Earth be accepted
as the Fallopian tubes
where the ovum of civilization
was fertilized.
