Really Comfortable Panties
an excerpt from her upcoming book
My underwear disintegrated right down the middle
the labial line
Life is literally falling from me
Whatever's been holding for a long, long time
years
Like thick dry fur
No matter how much you brush
It sheds when it's ready
Slipping them off, I feel sleek
Like a natural grooming
Exfoliated in red, red mud
Rinsed, dried, and shining
In the glory of the Western Desert
Sands have been fucking settled
Molded by forces known to gods the size of this world
I have been carved from stone
Drug along empty islands
Slow and with broad weight
Stubborn AF and with need for erosive tools
If I must come
My path gonna be cleared
and thorough
That I leave behind
A rip in tightly knit time
That let open lightly in the end
With graduated pressure
Like a cigarillo wrap wetted for ease with tears
The tender moistening of my once rightly fitted garment
straight along the Lilith line
Has released me
Has opened a portal that can never be closed
For I have miscarried my shame through all of this
My trauma-bonded mutt is dead
Yet I am still alive and giving no fucks about some deal with God
or that my private parts are showing
So this morning I bathed from a pot filled with filtered water
like I did once on a warm Egyptian rock
alone with an ancient sun dripping on my skin
And after, I finally cleaned her drops of uterine puss off the floor
My Ladygirl
Now it's almost like she's really gone
I hate it
I am numb
I oscillate between the two
Pets shouldn't have to suffer
Though our kinship thrived on this undue understanding of life
But now, I wonder, will my understanding change?
This new puppy is the 1st non-traumatic love I will have experienced
At 1st I felt uncomfortable with it
like new bottoms
adapting to my form
But beauty is in gestation and I am waiting for the weight to set in
The weight is my favorite part
When you perceive
The heart must grow big enough to bear it
You grow into each other like a placenta into the uterus
That's why the cleaving process feels like birth
and almost death
Where you are both the baby and the bearer
And my baby has finally stopped crying
My vagina's done discharged
And I am ready for some really comfortable panties
because I deserve it
I passed all the tests for Christ's sake
Even more so than God the Son, because I am still human
- God the Woman
And the only thing I want is to teach people how
To breathe through the pain
and use it to reach euphoria
while at the precipice of despair
from where you can see enlightenment
- the biggest turntable of all time
To deliver oneself through these organic rushes
To believe in yourself and trust the process
To leave your knives sterile on the table
For this stone has learned to move via harmonious vibrations
There is no need to grimace, I have found
For I am Gravida Para and my body has done this before
And my ready pearls slip
through the likes of 2 lips of a tulip's mouth these days.
