One Limb

Swim down, sisters, swim
the cave holds bones
hunted by men, one limb

of elder antelope in dim
corners glistens under echoed tones
swim down, sisters, swim

stretch from toes and sing as seraphims
find the tunnel marked by crones
hunted by men, one limb

of animal sparkles in secrets dim
and dark, but useful in the bones
swim down, sisters, swim

find the others, abandon the slim
space you’ve lived within alone,
hunted by men, one limb

ripped from another limb,
rise like aspens from the loam,
hunted by men, one limb
