I write for the woman who swallows the small blue pill

You will stand at attention and you will hear
With every decibel
A resonant echo
That casts out
Fear.

this woman unseamed and split
you have a responsibility to honor
you must honor her wounds
you must honor her capacity for creation
you must honor her will to destruct
this is a woman's heart unfolding

Catch a Falling Knife

*poem inspired by Cavat’s incarcerated female students

You tried to baptize yourself in toilet water and
As guards dragged you away, you cried Mama, Mamita
As though she could hear you through steel and brick.

to be anything but what I am.
Until the day I began to raise myself

The Tooth + Mountain poems

ou were told that you don't have power. 

But that's like telling a mountain it can't move.

You and I both know that before any human on earth was born, 

something mighty moved to make that mountain.
