My name is Amphitrite

I’m that which is dark and holy

I break and burn and burn and burn.

I do not belong here. I am not of this world.

I have my black Lord

and I have you.

If you taste - my skin is salt. My body is a seabed.

And let me

let me explode and spread wide.

I am your chaos, you are mine.

The moon is gaping its mouth at me: what do you want?

I swear I love you, I’ll say I do, I do.

I see through.

and I offer myself at your feet and the feet of God,

I am your secret I am a prayer I am the taste on your lips.

once I was the sea. look at me

my eyes are what remained. Do you see?

Solitude is etched on our skins.

In you I have found my madness; and I will never dance alone again.

I became a forest; my hair, saffron roots that ground me to soil.

things not of this world draw me in: the dead, the shadows, the dark corners

a miracle: you.

I do, I do.

My skin is a sea shell; I am yours to open

please wear me around your neck.

Please do not forget

I will not renounce my dream;

I am the moonbeam

that bleeds through the cracks of your heart; I am your moonbeam.

And here goes

an end to the wanderings of those that have gone astray

like me.

I am saved.
