Lucille Clifton wrote a poem called Hag Riding.
After her, this picture I'm going to call Hag, Rising. I. Love. It.
---
I see the coming change
ah--it gonna be furious!
come!
you unborn children of us
set over!--and call us home
from the other side.
we need to get groundedto build the bridges--
for you to walk straight
into safe lands
we are the edge dancers
and bridge constructors
we shall be!
we gonna take responsibility
for our unborn children's future.
from The Bordercrossing Starchild Mission, by Lela Engels, reprinted from We'Moon 2011
