Tonight is Soven

So I shall be putting up a poem I wrote yesterday (and put up on Facebook).  I may put up a picture of my candy delivery costume.  (Hey kids, you gotta face the monster if you want to win a treasure of great price!  Though I do tend to smile at the really little ones.)

The Goddess came in dizzying flight tonight

Air and the sound of blood

Rushing in veins

Spilled every moon

Wild hair and smell of mortality

Rust

And iron

From Her spine

Full wings ripped off in rape

Sewn on again

To painfully fly to meet the enemy

Protect her children

From external iron

Cauldron full of life spilling

Food and those who eat

And are eaten

Running swimming flying out of the depths

To run back home to the dark

Thank you

Oh life that embraces darkness that we might live

Let us be like our mother

Giving ourselves to you that you might live

And on and on

Tide in

Tide out

Like a heartbeat

Bloodbeat

Not a tidy dinner guest

As every woman remembers

Her every orgasm at once

And flies shrieking

Hoping

Dreaming

With leaves and feathers in our hair

We fly away from out Mother

Toward our Mother

Ourselves

And when the veil is thin

And death crackles in every leaf

Female and male we fly up

Like smoke

Like a ghost of rain

To feed the Woman of Snow

To come

Not a pleasant time of year

But pleasant

Full fed, full drunk, full of life

Hoping it is enough

To take us through the dark gestation time

Our weary bones grin

From Goddess fangs

Eaten and reborn

There will be life again

No matter what we do

Or what we destroy

We echo our Mother

We create and eat ourselves

Flying in the spin of stars

In turn eaten

To be reborn in death of a star

Supernovae

Flying

All Hallows

A soul-cake! A soul cake! I pray thee for me one to bake!

As the New Year softly fall

chiming bills both clink and call.

If you've not a soul cake free

then thin-rubbed coin would gen'rous be!
