She stands at the altar of her dreams one foot in church the other on the beach one path offers pain the other freedom She gazes up at the man on the cross spreads her arms wide clenches her fists Hurt me, too she cries into the blue face without eyes Hurt me, too she murmurs glancing at the blood sprung from her hand flesh rent by her own nails Hurt me, too she whispers realizing why the blue face is empty She is we all are our own god
