You came Through

a photographic-poetry collaboration with Aaron Richmond Havel.

"through these words, I would like to share gratitude and reverence for Enheduanna: First poet, Priestess of Inanna, who translated the mystery of Earth and Stars and who flows through the silver moon, into the tongues of her priestesses". -MaeDea Ov Moon

"through these images, I would like to give gratitude and honor the legacy of Ana Mendieta".- Aaron Richmond Havel

You came through the moonlight

Bitter

Sweet.

Worthy.

Swollen in disguise

Thru all the terrible thing humans try to hide

You came thru

And woke me from my slumber

Put the cloth to my brow

Anointed me with umbers

Created spidersilk from your hands

Wove me into a pattern

I didn't understand

The grasses blew pollen in the wind

The Dreams were thick and green

The lizards lay still with sex

In the bloom and the heat

You Came thru

Awoke me from my slumber

Brought me to your lips

Spoke wordless ways in my eardrums

My heart turned to thunder

My heart turned to thunder

I turned to the thunder

Deep Inside

Shook my body from the inside

Deep inside

When you come

Deep inside

Bending the ground open

Venus bloomed into blues

Dug open old grounds

Blood dripped from the knives

Gripped by hands fading into granite

Who return to Time

Pinned down in a dot

on the threshold of a Pentacle

When

The guides beyond your sight

Held the Athame

Brick dust on the black stone

Tightening the viola bow

Along the curvature of your desires.

Brought the resin dust to my spine

Brought the music to my mind

Traced remembrance along my ribcage

An inhale sharpens us

There is a

A prayer in the bones

that echos in timelessness

Beauty repatterns us
