by Angela
praise the blood-leaving days—
the long years of hide and cocoon;
dissolve, shed, middle-aged spread
praise the ringing ears—
you know a new dawn is coming now
ring the alarm! listen up! wake up!
it’s time to begin
praise the Harvest Queen who shows up
in this season of your life and urges you
to gather your life’s work and wisdom
all the pain and sorrow
the grief and relief
the sad, bad and lovely
Alchemise it, she says
This is your work now—
to take those old bones
and sing them back to life
It is all here for you
Praise be.
