ancestors
anchors
chorus
of singing blood
see me now
hear me now
this heart beating
this sacrifice
fruiting remedies
in you i live
in you i die
offers of remembrance
carry these prayers
let them congeal
return them flowing
a sacrificial fruit
a sacrificial plant
a swirl of smoke
a circle of ash
a menstrual knife
a drop of blood
a prayer on these lips
what is my life
if not yours?
what is my life
if not sacred?
what is my life
if not a sacrifice?
what is my life
if not bound in blood?
