Sta.sh
Once, I met Demeter in the furrows of my Dreams,
golden and gilding where my shade on flightless
wing flew inward, I heard her speak to me, words
of honey dripping into an amber remembrance
"never forget" she whispered, "never forget who
you are", so in the nativity of Solitude I practiced
my art, scribbling poems inked with my blood and
tears, I studied the veins of trees and drank the
blood that detoured from them, diluting Obscurity
with Need, Force with Fluidity, turning Burdens
into a garden of Blessings, I learned to assert
my Femininity from watery temple within to the
socialist Darkness without, I learned to be true
to myself and trust my nature, my kin that has
always been mine, forever have I been a student
of Eternity and when the world died in me-stained
with my red ochre menses-I knew that the possibilities
and promises still endured, so I danced on the arc
of Twilight shifting through my shadow, I was not
afraid for I felt Love surround me with her limitless
resources, I looked behind me and there was she,
golden and gilding, Demeter was dancing with me.
