Women in Red
sky
Sometimes
we need to push
through the clouds
to feel the sun
and touch the sky
morning glories
morning glories
open with the sun
close with the night
I’m so glad…
we are human
women 2
Genie Nakano Bollywood/taiko dance
Women
hold up half the sky
our curves
surround the oceans
deep within lies bliss
Red
Women
over 70 should wear red
bells on their ankles
flowers in their hair
we are just beginning
