Full Circle

I understand Stonehenge now: 
     The need for a circle 
     In relation to the sun. 
I understand Sisterhood now 
    The need for a circle 
    In relation to the Son. 

————————–

We have long since 
Lifted the hands 
That weighed congenially 
Upon each other. 

I can still see 
The two concentric circles 
We made and how they 
Closed and opened to 
Our embracing there. 

I can still hear our voices 
Praying: 
Father and Mother, conjoin 
To join our voice 
With the songs and 
Prayers we hear 
And would be singing. 

Saying: 
In His name, may 
Our Endowment confirm 
And no fraility impede this 
Blessing from distilling 
Upon her, 
            upon us, 
                        upon all women
