MARRIAGE OF THE GODS

From the 2024 Collection "Sixteen Odes From a Toad's Repose"

There, upon the loose dirt,
I was a stone’s throw from her,
Goddess Incarnate.
       She had snakes for hair,
       she had green flames for eyes,
       she was reverent and cruel,
       unbending but just,
       she was worshipped
       by the Holy Man
       whom she married.
In my fright I turned to him,
to placate my fears of the Unworldly Woman,
but he only uttered a single word to me,
a word I’ll never forget,
He said Cheers when I met him,
and by cheers
presumably he meant:
       Brace yourself
       for are standing on
       hallowed ground
       and I sense
       you know not
       what you do.
