Cross Tie 5.18.15: Julia Connor

m(other) tongue 

Before . . .
                                  when moon and stone 
                                                    were the bulwark

against which                                everything pushed 
                and blood

                               the first syllable 
in the body’s cup . . . .


Julia Connor is a poet for the world and for the world of women. She nurtures her sister poets in the mystery.
