 haven't done this in a few years, but here goes!  this week's words are:

  


 

untethered cloaks tendrils gods ash renew weaves through holy spark below wonder 

 

tendrils of hair

luminous 

with holy sparks 

woven through ash

untethered 

from below the hoods

of cloaks

which are prisons

meant to erase 

the goddesses  

who renew with wonder 

the indomitable spirit 

of their people 

 

Why Iranian women are burning hijabs
this week's words were a poem all by themselves

 

Iran protest at enforced hijab sparks online debate and feminist calls for  action across Arab world
which brought immediately to my mind
