Almond Cookies

 Every day whether it’s sunny or cloudy

Gloomy or blooming

Every day when I release my eyelashes

Clasping into each other

I drink water like Marina does

And I rise like Maya says

I save peculiarly wonderful images in my head

Like Vivien used to take

Sometimes very simply less is more, more or less

Just like Audrey’s breakfast

Or on the contrary, bold is me

Like it was inherited from Iris personally

God, I’m a big woman, don’t know how to shrink myself

But awaken all the girls to know their worth like Chimamanda suggests

Whatever outfit I wear, always flawless as Beyonce wakes up

Or like Medusa tugging my hair, opening my third eye drawn by Helen the painter

Love being alone though not at all a loner

The spirit is to keep the pack together as a leader shewolf,

But I need my own room so did lady Virginia, the Tough

Füruğ summarized my first love with her intense words

In Parisian rues and Maxims, Edith sang all those firey songs

Then I learned chainful stories instead of the painful

Like Ms Nazlı put together navigating my mind

Sirens attracting, witches potion-boiling, and all those goddesses and ancestors blending in my being

I am the woman that is every woman

I am the woman that is one and only

unique, definite and indefinite

Mother Nature, Eve and Lilith

I am the woman that swallowed the mankind

To give birth to the infinite

Being the womb for resurrection

And it’s not

Just my imagination.
