Bitch goddess
how she snarls at the moon!
tail bone high,
she raises her hindquarters to the wind
howls to the four directions, claiming
her Space
warns me, if I don’t listen to her
yelping & crying
she’ll tear me apart with her teeth.
I’m learning a healthy respect,
let her sniff my palms, and crotch.
she scares my angelic side, with her dirty paws –
get down! I want to yell,
go take a bath.
but she is getting down in the desert dust,
rolling, getting an itch out.
she invites me down on all fours,
knees to the dirt
(my pretty white leggings stained).
But soon I’m wagging my butt
& howling, too.
As women we often discount our knowlege and try to skew our information or our perceptions so that they are acceptable to others. In so doing, we rob the world of our accumulated knowledge. Accurate information is important to the world. Accurate information from a variety of perspectives is essential. Anne Wilson Shaef
