VI. benedictions from the mother
things marked holy make a path 1
over the fire
beneath the holy ones as they grow dark
say the words
what makes the path the blood
the noun is the verb
the god is
the god becomes
amidst the fire
beneath the holy ones as they grow dark
beneath the dark they grow
holy, holy
holy things marked make the path
say the words
May you rise into this fire
stars beneath the dark
become the god
the path
the blood hath made
over the dark
beneath the fire.
