Woman and Wild


Woman and Wild

I can't tell you
the first time the wild
whispered into my 
tiny child heart
because the wild
has always been here...

always an undeniable
aliveness tucked just
behind my ribs
stretching from 
collar bone into the
rich bowl of my (now)
crone woman hips.

we occupy each other
as woman and wild
creating spaces
where life flourishes

each of us
utterly
unique

 each of us
utterly
interdependent

each of us
utterly
at home

At 55


by Tracie Nichols (2017)

Rounded,
changing,
graced with
radiating
spirals
across pale
softening
surface.

Me.

Worn
like a
river stone.

Deepening lines,
tracing life
trajectory
over
cheek bone
hillocks,
curving around
eyes that
have
seen.

Deeper
beauty
surfacing.

Truer
beauty
shining.

Passing
time reveals
strength
of my
river stone
woman self.
