I have run through the shadow worlds
stripping off the colors of flesh that have bound me into separation. I have run through the shadow worlds: carrying the four directions. carrying the four bodies. carrying the four minds. carrying the four male mothers. I have run through the shadow worlds: screaming out the dark moisture through my fingers so the workings of my hand are not bound in blindness and shadows. Like a thief in the night, I will come like the One before me who took my story and my songs and made it theirs; and my words were diluted, and demonized; and I was buried within symbols; fragmented, and whored into shadows by the elder gods who watch me while making themselves graves to live in and make worshippers rise from as mindless drones with implanted reactions to resurrect them in their minds because they are the nightmares that human dreams. And I am coming back because this fire has taken form. I will walk among you hidden. For those who do not look within their heart, they will not recognize me. Like a thief in the night, I am returning - an androgynous daughter of the Alien Father - I am the perfect feminine consciousness in a male form. |
