Woman's Work Day 1 "Do you know me? The woman who moves as the moon moves"

Using Dominique Christina's book This Is Woman's Work as a guide I will work my way through each of the 20 archetypes of woman that she sets out in her work - one per day. At the end of each chapter Dominique gives you a series of "seed lines" from which a poem or prose may stem…

Day 1… Shadow Woman…

The seed line that draws my eye is "Do you know me? The woman who moves as the moon moves"

Do you know me?
The woman
Who moves as the moon moves.

Drunken on the starlight
Lying still so no one will see her
Move.

The moon waxes and wanes within her
You would not see it
For the mask fits tight

Chewing on a scream
Full bodied yet veiled
God's bride.
