Our Lady of New Worlds
at dusk you stepped from the shadows, masquerading. as we sat to break bread your face was revealed - a darkness reflected in the blade โจthat cut out my eyes my tongue my womb. the long night of truthโจ swelling like festering wounds.โจโจ
throbbing.
in the cold I lay still,โจ dreaming.โจ as I wandered the desolate landscapeโจ a deep sorrow overcame me โจand I began to weep - for my songs for my childrenโจ for the world that was before you.โจโจ
panting.
at dawn I awoke,โจ breathless. as I stepped from the shadows,โจ the light pierced my skinโจ and forged a new body. the bright sun of mercy breathed hope into roots that grew to towering trees of beauty - immense beauty which overpowers all else.
