lidless eye
on me
pallid moon
witness to my rising
crown of teeth
at calvary
I dug up ancient red skull
I saw alters to cats
I watched the dead
weigh their souls against feathers
I saw blood run waist deep in the street
history was a flat disc
flattened by murderous hands
that molded us in its image
and the lidless moon watched all
never blinked
never sinked
below that dark horizon
Morning Star carried her on his back
Morning Star fell
and kissed her on the way down
Lilith is my willful mother
formed from dust and spit
we saw the shore
heard Romans slashing the gates
saw Germanic tribes gashing the Romans
saw all and breathed life into careful death
Furies gave me name at the foot of Dis
The Morrigan built me a heart of battlefield meat
Scathach broke my fingers
and Hecate filled my head with stars
they named my flesh Woman
set me in the way of all men
so insolent and sure
their dicks swinging in their hands
set me, Woman, in the way
gave me divine right, judgement
set big pallid moon
pulling at my womb
told me to tug the world from mud
stand against little vengeful god
vomit at his feet
as we live without him
big white moon
eternal, lidless
turn your eye on me
as I rip their ribs out
and remake the heavens in the image of Woman
