Do
not monopolize my time
with
a harlot's abandon
do
not strike a whetstone
with
the perfect balance
do
not let me go down the cosmic drain
without
seeing the fire in my eyes
burning
through the aftermath
of
all that has yet to be seen;
just
hold my hand as we run down a thousand steps
of
the temple
dedicated
to the queen
of
pantheistic gods,
renamed
by modern man's arsenal of slings and arrows,
war
and flying machines, slavers to bombs
and
stonings and beheadings.
by Anna Ruiz. An excerpt from the upcoming Girl God Anthology, Jesus, Mohammad and the Goddess.
Wonderful, on so many levels.
