Grendel’s Mother to the Spear Danes
am I an animal
I am a woman
a wetland
I am made
of weather
how do you measure
my humanness
I the heath stepper
the fen dweller
the night walker
my humanness
I the heath stepper
the fen dweller
the night walker
is it the width
of my wingspan
the straight
of my spine
of my wingspan
the straight
of my spine
you say my son
comes from nowhere
comes from nowhere
no one comes
from nowhere
from nowhere
