Matrushkas

Babushkas, grandmothers,

bright dolls within dolls,

eggs face-painted

without arms or legs,

wombs within wombs,

genes within genes...

Lineage holds the past and future

safe within its nest.

I Am the biggest One;

I hold the universe

safe inside My womb.

I Am also the littlest One,

tucked safe and indestructible,

bright kernel of hope

inside you.

Dream with Me.

I envision the future healed.
