Piece together

Self contained virgin mother
Having known a divine lover
The father of the firstborn
First fruits and birthrights
And old stories passed on in journeys
To grandparents’ house

The whore becomes the chosen wife
Birth a hero w/insight
To lead the desert vagabonds
She draws f/the wishing well @ high noon
Sweat labored lonely, a priestess of the moon
Once worshiping the goddess in greenest groves
Renounce what is dead
Embrace life, heart beating sacrifice
Hear the trumpets and future love crumble
Down walls of previous existence

Gabriel calls the virgin youth in me
Heaven opens up above my skull
My child is already born
My daughter Dove

Abstinence obliterates the memory
Of intrusion, bodily fluid confusion
Lust I knew well
To conquer was to be conquered
I’ve nearly forgotten
What I recall is enough
Piece together fragmented memories
Years of faithful coupling
Smells, weekend marathons
Now shadows in my muscles and tendons

I’ve loved the most those I’ve never tasted
The ones connected by experience
Having no need to nullify
In animal husbandry

I loved the most the father of my child
Years of blissful unfinished karma
End in blistered hate
