we imagine a language invented by women 10 some of us<br />

write in it 11 or we invent our own codes 12 our metaphors<br />

and images we invent words for experiences common<br />

among us but rare in other parts of society we reproduce 13<br />

through language heard and spoken written and sung our<br />

ears 14 listening 15 down through the ages the distances as<br />

great as galactic 16 space time measured in light years<br />

we have an ear for music and for poetry our balance<br />

honed like a cat’s our sense of touch as fine and strong as<br />

the spider’s bouncing and spinning on her web<br />

we are poets and congregate in circles listening to the<br />

inheritance of the tenth muse 17 we read and chant our<br />

work to audiences in rapt silence we part moving back<br />

into solitude 18 scribbling and tapping away until we<br />

coalesce into molecules of words
