“The Lexicon of a Whore”

Shaped by the lexicon of a Whore

I make dirty things

and eat dirty things

and you become a dirty thing

when you say my name- like that

and every day you crave for my name

to drip from your tongue

so you bit my mother’s clit

Her scream in Heaven’s ears

Her pain drips from your lips

Starved for resurrection

you arrive soiled to my banquet

and steal a slice of this juicy pie

(Everything this good is Whore made)

Cloaked in carnage

Sodden in tears of unwept babes

whose innocence you slaughter

to drown your own

to get as close as you can to me

With a severed desire for true love

It Is all you have known

So much denied you

So much denied

So much

Raised in a Whore house

how else would you act?

When Whore and mother are one in your life

then so become your daughter and wife

When the world has raped you of your role

the Earth made of lands you stole- well not really you- I know

the Soul is turned for tricks

and the children of your flesh make you sick-

Too much light here

Too much light

Too much

All along seeking

the blood of my womb

when spilled at your lost feet

call the great Grandfathers home

from their war-torn tomb

It is nay too late to sob

into the petals of Her red dress

or was it white

Surrender

She has been waving her flags

in your face

And you see her face

in me

and the Grandmother Oak tree- you cut

Yet it is only I who knows

how to penetrate

the wild craze of your gaze

despite the black rose you gave

as I fled my own home

But contrary to your plan

I Mary made my garden grow

For you

It has always been for you

To show the Love

only a good Whore can make

This Love is true

This Love is

This Love

will heal your Mother Wound
