in order to understand


you must quake under my rage, not deafening but 

 devastatingly silent

 

you must drown under my tears, so sweet that the forgotten queens sipped 

from the rivers of my soul and hailed me a  founded goddess.

 

absorb my presence

let it welve into the edges of your lips,

begging that my existence be coveted by all

 

however you must not find solace in the lull of my eyes 

nor in the sprawl of my smile

but you may gape at the sable darkness surging  from my veins

and marvel what entity dared erect me into this world
