Anath

Wardrobe in a box

To receive

Letters promised

Anath

To give love

Nail polish, a poem

Your legs in a frame

Shipped also, goddess

To make love

Magazines, pedicures

Sent naked,

Without a fight

Your warrior

No longer

beltane fires

stringing

red, then green

beads

priestess lays

bracelets, flowers

at your Beltane feet

sings, weaves

branches, lilacs,

ivy, ribbon

goddess crown

lady loves, prepares

sticky may queen,

cernunnos bride

horned one breathes

waits, prods

my lord

kneels, kisses

feet, then knees

womb, breasts

lips that speak

the names

in perfect trust

your lady

beds you down

kissing apollo

underthedoor light

blinding kiss,

corruptible

swan’s breath.

my leto sent,

light throwing

sun god,

redeem me.

my island banished

vulnerable predictor,

goddess doctor,

cover me,

fall on me,

drench your devotee.

goddess is elizabeth. elizabeth is goddess.

Aphrodite, please

uncross my sacred heart

in the shadows of my altar,

bless me, soothe me,

find me, take me, show me,

send me my sweet hot,

my Ares incarnate,

Adonis on earth.

i believe, i receive

your will be done

in perfect love

and perfect trust

Aphrodite knows

i conjure, my Pan,

my Ra, my sun,

my breath,

my father, Zeus.

no one can love you

like a witch so deep,

cracked open,

light shining, sex oozing,

priestess of love.

so mote it be.
