Dear Hera

Category: Poems | Tags: Acceptance, Anger, Freedom, Identity

 

You goddess you!

Anger

and freedom

Fire licking wind

bursting like pomegranate seeds

pop pop

Shoot them down on the path to your soul

And when you reach the space where lava

meets

earth

transforms it into crackling

will you melt?

Will calm descend like a falcon in mid

flight

zeroing in on your spirit

Water for wishes

Oh Hera 

of rage

No sage

Bringing the Omega to his knees

Do you control heaven?

Control your reckless passion over that

which can’t be possessed

when your heart is in a cage of its own

making

Hear this!

Hera now

Visit your veins

The blood runs clear

dark

but

shadow is impossible without light
