Inspired By Women

By Christina Strigas
inspired by women

Illustration by Damehi Laloo

I can be at a play

pre-pandemic

or a rock concert

or reading a wise book

or listening to women of rock playlists

and my dog’s ears perk up

at the exact moment I feel reborn with fists. 

It’s how women

feel with full hearts

the all-seeing eye between the eye

the sex beating between our thighs

words and page breaks of whispers

book, sentences, illustrations with murmurs

revealing truths, flaws and memoirs

biographies, videos—your secrets

                                    combined into muses

                                    Greek statues touching my olive skin

                                    taking me on a tour

                                    of ancient scripts of womxn

                                    laying bare with a lyre and a harp

                                    kissing each other for 

                                    inspiration. 

How my mind soars into the old world

                        while I am at my desk drinking jasmine tea

                        with one brick view

                        and one woman (me)

                                    To give some hope

to other womxn (you)

                        to acknowledge 

                                    those feelings

and turn them into 

                        fresh ground coffee

                                    for others to drink.
