FIRE AND WATER by Gina Puorro

"FIRE AND WATER"

by Gina Puorro

My darling woman

you do not need to choose

and you do not need permission.

You are both fire and water

with feet planted in the earth

and ancestors at your back.

You can be kind and gentle

and still have your sharp tongue.

You can be both soft and strong

with your heart open wide

and backbone tall.

Turn your face up towards the warmth

of your own light and sink down

into your fertile darkness.

There may be flowers in your hair

but there is a holy fire between your hips.
