At the end of the play, the truth remains,
The authority of female insight
An invitation for masculine change.
Stiletto steps puncturing; feather light.
Her tolerance for pain surpasses mine
Spellbinding in Her practical mystery
Spike heeling between invisble lines
Of flat cat footed, plodding history;
That puts us all in improper places
Wearing gender masks, playing gender roles
Put scarlet lip gloss on all our faces
Unlock the chastity belt of our souls.
Daughter, lover, sister, mother, leader
Soother, scorner, scourger, wife, believer.
