Oh, I Forgot

Yes, it was a sabbat a few days ago, even though it was one that doesn't mean much to mean, the purity of the Virgin Goddess & all that. Plegh to You, Virgin Goddess... right now I am the heavy lidded daughter of the Scarlet Woman and have no truck with Virgins!

I just want someone to lay me out & eat me alive, in the chill air, high on a hilltop, all the stars in the world circling madly above. I want to be drunk, kissed with wine-stained, love-swollen lips. I am much at one with my own flesh right now. I just wish I had someone slightly more interesting with which to share myself...

A Tad Rusty

I have lost my seal-skin and drum

have surrendered my dance,

have surrendered the sun

now I stand in my bones,

shadows cast long behind me

in my wake is left only stone

desolation on my lips

the heat and light fade,

the cooling embers of my hips




I am the bear come down from the mountain

I am the mare come home from the waves

I am the hound of moon and star

I am the lion freed from the chariot reins

I have drank deep of the sacred well

I dance in the living flame

I dance on the heartbeat drum

I live inside the hidden heart

I have danced to the womb of the unhewn stone

To find me...
