Poem Transcript:
The old gods were worn out.
She proposed
her own name,
refused to be pressured,
a goddess
of wisdom,
a girl
ascending
no matter what telescope
was used,
further in the orbits,
on the outer,
something strange;
a star,
taken with the observations
of souls,
the knowing
of the moon,
of the planet,
of what is important.
You can find more of Suzi’s work on Cordite, Aniko Press, and Old Water Rat Publishing.
