The window of the woman learning
by Jenny Chynoweth
Girl with awkward fat pushing against
defenseless hand-me-down sweatpants,
cowering within, praying for invisibility
crying out for attention
Girl
You are not the lolli-pop sucking, bonnet-wearing
temptation of innocence
prey to the derangement of boys or men obsessed,
not victim to probing hands, whispering tongues
Girl
You are not the unremarkable sea of beigeness
who hides her sexual huntress under Eddie Bauer
holding back the goddess along with the demons
your inner Aphrodite choked
into submission
Woman
You are the transient
manifestation of all your human learning
blazing through the cosmos in this
mad dash of experience
waves and particles dancing
to the tune of all that is
all that ever was
flickering between forms, lives, lessons
traveling along frequencies of healing
timeless probabilities collide within
burning bright with infinity
You are a mogul of feminine creativity
aligning the stars with your passion
feeling around corners.
gaps in the cosmos are your playground,
sandboxes filled with synchronicities
await inspired constructions.
living spherically you are not one
but all tendrils reaching out
to feel the pulse of the universe,
building empires with your power.
You are goddess divine unleashed
Venus, Psyche, and Isis meet in you,
awaiting new adventures through you.
you tease with every commandment
of your body, alluring slow caresses
radiate waves of the sensual pleasure of being-ness
the power of womanhood is
yours to focus
Eddie Bauer beige stomped
into nothingness by red stilettos
