Old crone
speak to me
I see your face
wrinkles like water
eyes like a stone
Tell of the young girl
who danced and loved the boys
Tell me of the children
and crying alone
Tell me of sweeping the front porch
and waiting by the phone
Tell me that he left you
and the dry place like a bone
Old crone
speak to me
I know that you are well
but tell me how dear mother
all this came to pass
Tell of the sweet cirlce of women friends
And dancing anew for yourself
Tell me of finding youself
in the print on a scarf
Tell me of menopause
and aching bones
Tell me though the twilight comes
you stay at home
Old crone
speak to me
The thin and quavering flesh
speaks of an arrow straight and true
that finds you as its mark
Is this the secret old crone
That mortal flesh shall fail
and you the devine feminine
shall at last prevail

Three Old Friends
The three of us weave
comfortably from counter to range to sink.
I stir the stew, you scrape carrots.

you think you know how to please

yet you claim your a tease
But
Old crone

I see your face
wrinkles like water
eyes like a stone
