CARDAMOM
sequel
She gave us cardamom pods and love
They gave us the fierce anger of Mega Therion
In our dreams we wonder
Ho do they kill the gifts she gave them?
She offered light ochra powder – a mind blowing sand
She offered pods of courage
She offered soothing time to rest
In our dreams we ask
How do they (k)ill the words she gave them?
They hunt our moments friendship
They chase our days of resentment
In our dreams we wonder
Am I not mad?
Seven times we rap upon the window of the mighty vault
Electrified insectivores appear through the looking glass
We sense the fragnance of cinnamon palm -
amethyst tunes in our visions
We shall ascend the stair that is fraught with unwholsame things
She gave us cardamom pods and rhizomatic lust
Seven times we appeal to Babalon to voice her stories
We offer laurels to the ember – the captives fly away
We ask no further questions
In our dreams we know
we transform into the Scarlet Woman
Sekhmet and Persephone
shattering their plans
