[image id: A photo of page 22 from my pamphlet ‘woman | folk’ laid on a hessian cloth with a white lace border on the left hand. The poem text reads: woman: free here at the edges      you wait                 ocean reaching for the shore                spray turning skin to      salt & glitter   one day           you dip            a toe in sirensong              & it feels            so good                       next day you lower                    your whole self   naked               into stinging surf       & marvel          at the way                 it holds you        the way no one ever has           marvel   at the way water is             a soft     question      pebbled into dark the way          your own body          has always been   the answer ]

I could’ve posted any poem from my pamphlet for International Women’s Day. It’s angry (rightfully so, considering the lives of women in Sudan, Afghanistan, Gaza, America, here, all over the world), but I have chosen a poem of hope — I want to create a better world for the women who come after us.

not me blasting self esteem's single focus is power on repeat for most of the day.
