THE STEPHANIE THEOPHANIES

ELIZABETH TREADWELL

[a poem for pussy riot]

pressed by the clouds into service
Mary theoryless like a star
in the palace of life, with rainbows,
bright & faint,
in the deserts & the oceans & the camps
theophanies, all the mary parts
giving birth to tiny gods everyday,
nursing them & dolling them up,
in the palace of life, with rainbows,
bright & faint,
in the deserts & the oceans & the camps
our goddess Thinking Woman, all our
Beloved Women, sing
amongst you too
pressed by the clouds into service
the rains the rains the rains
