Poetry: Feminine Divinity

by Melisande Luna

Created on: May 20, 2007

A Paiute Woman's Dim Memory

Today my palms are spirits
as my fingers seek the cups
of matate hollows in the granite,

worn by fawn-fleshed girls
as they worked manzanita fruit
to paste between rocks.

No manos remain, only the mountain
explains the methods of women gone to sinew,
who came to grind their testimonies

in the memory of stone.
