Women who write

Niños cantores II (1966), by Leonilda González.



Women who write

On my bedside table, a stack
of stones, small and smooth.
I think of the bud
in your poem. How she waits
stoic, serene.
We pass through many
moods. The stones remain
balanced. In this moment, I flex
my mind. Imagine.
You tap your keys. You uncap
your pen. Words flow, these days.
How moving to converse this way,
back and forth, lotused.
