Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 49:

A yellow tulip that has been blooming for 20 years (a baby shower gift), more rows on the grey panel, and the Midwife card from Nick Bantock’s Archeo deck.

Artemis

by Beth Weaver-Kreider

How
apt that
now when so
much is at stake for girls
when women unleash the hounds
of Artemis upon the ones who prey
upon our young when we call out against
the cruelty yearning for a more humane way
that we would send this arrow moonward
this rocket basket of beautiful souls into
space to commune with the moon
and name one of her dimples
for a beloved one
to show us
we can be
human
again
