Offerings

Preserver of the world

She Alone

Warrior

protecting killing saving

sacrifice
stripped
to the bone

no escape from the burden
no escape from the doom
no escape from the weight
of the world

*

Dancer with the world

man-woman

costume to hide disguise conceal
perform the monster shield the poet of
imagination and perception
hunt the equal fighter play with prey of greater power
chancing losing in the fire of

destruction and creation

empathy
unexpected
consecration

*

She
carries the world
He
carries her
