I believe in a goddess
Impossible to describe
Clearly recognizable
Call her Laphrodite
Goddess of the belly laugh
She giggles with Kuan Yin
Over eggs Benedict and strong coffee
Rhumbas with Buddha
In her spare time
Breaks bread with Jesus
Who always brings the wine
A good listener
Pervasive as the sky
Wiser than the redwoods
Deep as the stars
See her in the cats’ eyes
Evening suns’ sweet surprise
The cosmic spiral of milk
In my morning coffee
She dreams of
Ancient Women
Who did not
Apologize
She is Multi-gendered,
Depends on the day of the week
Or the Moon
It’s just a phase
Lots of arms
Definitely many faces
Often found
In the most unusual of places
Starting with my face
Reflected in the mirror
Messy hair and all
