Auspicious it was
The day she arrived
She pawed at the earth
Eyes glistened
She cried
Dived in headlong
With Valkyrie song
I’m takin’ on life
Here and now!
Sunday School
Pummeled her
with
Chapter and Verse
Some a little weird
Some perverse
She cried
“It’s Eve who got shafted!!”
Teeth clenched to smile
Head turned to mutter…
“I oughta be writin’
My Own Bible Now” —
Her questions arose time and again
Her teachers trembled
As her eyes rolled back
“Oh puleeeze!”
Watchout!
She’s gonna be writin’
Her own Bible now”
Ran with pack
And didn’t look back
Bayed at the moon
And not a moment too soon
Sought many gods
Going down roads
Saints never have trod
as she
Sculpted her own
Magnificent heavens
And
Painted her own
Masterpiece of hells
Nazarene, and Nagual
As lovers they came
None were a scam
Then she twelve stepped with Shakti
To find Abraham
Just Researchin’
Her Own bible Now! —
Now
Celebrations
Are rule
Not the exception
Candles lit daily
With new inspiration
She’s writin’ her own bible now
Auspicious it was
The day she arrived
She tills now the earth
Eyes moist
And She cries
‘Cuz
She’s reading her own bible now.
