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
