Wretch

Chews the fat with his creator

Over breakfast in the sunlight

Through when he says grace,

When he says grace, he feels enveloped like a shadow

There are evenings when this decimated world of movement, colour, form,

Is thin and getting thinner

When lights are dim and getting dimmer

when nights are grim and they're only getting,

Only getting grimmer



As they barter their boulders and martyr their soldiers,

Teach a man to tear her fucking head from her goddamn shoulders



Held into the sun by the threads of her hair,

They impart a secret hatred from their fathers to their heirs



Suppressed and unaddressed the simple fact remains unspoken,

In silence left unbroken, on a bed bound and gagged

With culture, language, myth and law: our Goddess gave birth to your God

From a wounded womb where her flesh scarred and raw

Our Goddess gave birth to your God
