She is arched
protectively
over the earth.
She is black
and her body
is made of stars.
Her long hair
drapes her shoulders
like smooth dark wings.
Her fingertips
are extended
touching the ground.
My friend Geb,
old earth god, he
is who loves her.
Between them,
good kind parents,
they hold us safe.
Their wisdom
is very old
yet they are new.
They are new
every day
as the sun is.
