It is the moonlight in my skin,
that’s why I glow in the dark
it is the night-time in my beauty
the bright crescent moon in my smile
and the eclipses of my eyes,
each sparkle in my pupils
a collage of constellations
i hula-hoop in the rings of Saturn,
playing jacks with the stars
shooting pool with the planets,
sinking them into neverending black holes
spinning on the merry-go-round
of Mercury’s orbit
yes, I am a Woman
and for me, the world turns
and the universe
is simply my playground.
