This Woman's Life....

I REMEMBER...
You frown on the name de Dieu
As if
I need your permission
To claim
My Goddessness
In an age of godlessness
Be grateful
I am here
And it is my name
Because I remember
My origins
Older than the rain
Than some of the stars
If you looked inside me
You might know Mars
And while some of you
Came from primordial ooze
The spittle and fire of demons
Drunk on.mud and murderous booze
We came with a mission
Despite all your needling
Disguised in Caucasia cloaks
We didn't forget
Your jeers and jokes
Fell on brown ears and skin
Feeling the universe's drumbeat
Of The Quantum Beginning

Karma-- Don't color me with your eyes or tongue Your thoughts, your dirty world Your words, your speech, your meddling woes Your middling, tiny, little excursions Into what you never were Who you never thought you could be All that limitation That you wish dumped on me Take that back--it's yours You choose it everyday When you wake up, you think it, entertain it as a friend While I, I wash mine away Leave me to my thoughts My wanderings, My need to make this world bright With flaming color of dance and light And song and poetry And stories-- All bigger than me I refute any Karma That still has me tied to you Because there is so much that I want To breathe, to create, to see, to taste, to touch, to try, to feel, to do.... Leave the mundane where it belongs In your origination, not at my door Not anywhere around me, not in this lifetime, nor the next, Nor ever-- Not anymore. 2.27.14 Valhalla DeDieu
