Alchemy

Anna Mulhern ’22

                               even now

especially now

I will weave you JOY

                             I will craft it from nothing

                                                and everything

It is the ancient alchemy

                     of women

I will nestle joy in your lungs

                    until you can breathe

                                       and sing

                                       and cackle

I will wrap you in joy

                                          it will fade

but my fingers will reach

                    out

                                           and in

and dance

                                           and tremble

                        QUANTUM

to harness the fleeting

                      and spin it into gold

Until you realize

                    you have always been

                    the source
