Hypatia in Cimmeria #82 (Fairy Tales)

I dip my hands into the River of Life that flows
So surely and swiftly from a source inside myself
Gather hush from moonlight and silence from the water
Smear mud in my wound, the primitive wound of birth

Release the rabid, savage beasts from their prison
Shatter the tablets of the law, tear down the idols
Set fire to the city in my ravaged heart
And learn to live in the ruin and the rubble
(Kelsey Bee)
