Excerpt

“A Poem for Women and for Men”

The horns of the moon point up
become a cup
that fills with light

The moon reaches to be full

No fear
No fear

We have been filled with fear
too long and now must reach
our joyous burden

Oh sweet my dear
there is no harm in it
this pain
that is no pain but something quite different
