The High Priestess

bioluminescent membrane
guardian of thresholds
radial Madonna
in her hues & crosses

to protect      the subconscious       is to go inside
            make dream of the mundane
& spin             gold chaotic orb
relinquishing one      from   perception     of control

pomegranate tapestry          (she’s no Persephone)
held up as
giant peahen feather            (she’s no Zeus)
taunt of wisdom
on the interstice

Mother of Sclera
                        Choroid will
                                               Mother of Crescent Moons

In strength     in knowledge           we see you & are seen
A shimmer     a broken crown
Divine Triumph        of Changes
