“Women are inferior to men.
I won’t let a woman judge me.”
~~ From a “Law and Order” episode

“God took one of the man’s ribs…
The Lord God made woman from
The rib….”
~~ From a bible given my daughter-
Circa 1984

“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
My last confession was…”
~~ From the memory of the author,
An elementary Catholic school
Survivor.

I think I see, now, God is a Woman.
All Mother. All Lover. All Daughter.
All emoting Flame of Energies
Lust… Energy’s Desire. Life’s
Desire is to Live Energy’s
Empire, the Empire of Love.

But, that is in the divine soul,
Reality punches holes into awareness
With such alacrity and joy,
It hurts to live. We are Energy
Contained, wasting our precious days
With the other lust, the physical
Psuedo-energy of waiting.

A Mother beehives her brood,
Settles them in grooves of planetary
Mix. Dust quiets progress, eons pass.
Energy thrums with need of release,
Proceeds to believe Desire
Can feed its holes of existence.
Resistance flares, divinity ceases.

I think I see, now, Woman is a God,
All Daughter. All Lover. All Mother.
All divulging Flame of Energy’s
Lust. Energy’s Desire is to Live
Life’s Energy of Desire, and
Create an Empire of Love.
