Hearken, spirit gods, hear my words
Woman I am, goddess, nymph
No rib made me flesh
No man has power over me
I stand before the winds
of destruction and am not
blown down
What a man can do
I can do
I accept no dominion
No slave am I to any man
From my loins springs
the universe
All life is whispered
in my name
Genuflect at some fount?
No, come pay me homage
and I will bless you with
continuity of the species
fed by my breast
