SHE CARRIES THE MOON IN HER MOUTH

They say some women speak softly
because they are afraid—
but mine is a quiet made of galaxies,
a hush that holds whole worlds
without trembling.

When I open my mouth,
the moon rises.
Not to blind,
not to boast,
but to light the places
no one else has dared to look.

My words glow from the inside out—
silver truth,
gentle fire,
the kind of light that can guide
or unveil
or heal.

I’ve learned I don’t need volume
to shift a sky.
I don’t need thunder
to move a tide.
I carry a calm,
ancient brightness
that knows exactly how to rise.

So when I speak,
the night listens.
The dark parts soften.
The quiet becomes holy.

For I am the woman
who carries the moon in her mouth—
and every truth I release
is another dawn
breaking open.
