feral tale

Celebrating women's collective rage and fierce beauty; finding salvation, power, and unbroken belonging in sisterhood

December 15, 2024

the most beautiful sight
I have ever seen is
the rage of one woman
avalanching into
the rage of ten
thousand more

I want to be saved by
the fury of women
I want to dangle my long woven hair
from the towering rage of women
I want the whole hog
golden carriage and steed

I want to wear my most elaborate
dress to the dance
with the bravery of women
and when I lose any glass slippery
part of myself I want to lose it
to the sisterhood of women

I want the whole world to
watch as I marry
the fury of women
and when death do
us part I want my bones
to lie alongside the ferocious
beauty of women

unbroken ever after
