55. SPIRALS AND SUNS

Webs and nets and triangles

Spirals and suns

The first runes of language

Were women's art

3000 long years before the first cuneiforms

Were etched in Sumer clay.

In the matristic beginning...

When the human race was guided

From the spiral womb by

Her wisdom

She who nourishes children

Would nourish them all their lives...

The human heart still lives

In those wise times.

It is the mind today

That lives convoluted and confused

With greed and power

Patriarchal pain

Ever since the Kurgans...

But now at last

She comes forth

Her sisters and brothers

Will restore

The earth
