Divine Daughters
A Poem by Rachel Bagby
Why you can trust us
< 1 MIN READ
Apr 1, 2000
once we have heard
just once
deeply heard your names
interior elder sisters
just once heard all daughters
hold all the people
there will ever be
inside
before ever breathing a breath
being pinked out
learning to be tasty
and everything nice
divine daughters
life will for us be different.
