Ixchel 

Ixchel war als Erd- und Mondgöttin der Maya. Schutzherrin der Wasser, des Regenbogens und der Schwangeren. Sie erfand die Webkunst. In einigen Überlieferungen scheint sie mit der Fruchtbarkeitsgöttin Ixcanleom identisch zu sein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixchel




Jaguar Goddess
the jaguar woman
rainbowed the way
with medicinal
womanliness
birthing children
for the darker days ahead

She Masks Her Pain
moon goddess to none
causing the ocean to retreat
leaving body parts
in her wake
for the children's sake
she masks her pain
listening to plastic in the rain

The Wedding dress
crinoline and lace
no longer becomes her
the misuse and abuse
strengthened her skin
so her flesh no longer bends
but welcomes the simplicity
of a silicone wedding dress

The Rape
the light catches
the remnants of her soul
her becoming bosom
begs for a break
in the dawning day
of clawing and pawing hands
and canine lips searching
the nooks and crannies of her hips
she poses impervious
to the advances
as her soul dances and prances
elsewhere in time to her own rhythm and rhyme
she douses herself with kerosene
strikes a whole box of matches
and watches as the light catches
the remnants of her soul
