the women

confused by their loneliness
the women had scattered
they pressed themselves
against the moon

but no one approached
please  please
how their voices had fallen

a terrible silence—
such cold immense absence
that the hornets had left

the women
clung to their baskets
they went willingly

to that ocean of strangers
beyond the turquoise
where waters opened
into waters
