Lucretia Mott
Stanton
Susan B Anthony

Will the USA

find a woman-bonneted

aware-alert-strong?

Mott wrote:

 “The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation,

because in the degradation of women,

the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.”

Riddle#26 Scars

…I have woven a parachute out of
everything broken: my scars
are my shield. William Stafford

A
scar is
my newest
recreation. A
bolder sinew: hewn of marriage,
joined with weapon’s tender touch on subtle ground held strong.

Scars

Scars
are new creations:
sinews
touching tender ground.
