V. Hodegetria’s Dream
My bones may not be my own
I dreamed my Grandmother Elephant’s sorrow-ocean
my femur transmitting
felt in just so—
sound waves hearing violence
cage and pole and gun.
The devil was the angel of light white
man has been possessed by light-dream
for thousands of years the whole world knows
this but (we) don’t know why.
Origen says the devil must be redeemed who
is responsible.
The devil must be redeemed, who is responsible?
