the pillar of salt lot's doubting wife became
the last look back before orpheus lost eurydice
the immortal entombing of the pharaohs
achilleus, bright and shining.
god's true punishment for knowledge
was to drown in the sorrow of love.

the punishment of women.
the spines and squares and twists of green hills
and the love of a peace (home hearth protection)
i am i am
all the endings come to twist in infinity
where my cold white body turns dark and warm
i wish i had lived a thousand thousand years from now so i too could be a star traveler
where i am where i am
the cold air the cold calls of the wind
a knot inscribed huge on the ground
where i can walk it
i never knew when i first heard of the power of the woman-saint
the martyrdom and the final sin of eve
the final hurdle the last best hope the punishment of women
where i am where i am
i lost the end of sin
i am i am
where in the woman the snake
why am i not tempted
not thrown out of eden
when did i escape into the barren lands of the world
the singulism of my own small life
where is the terrible sword the shining light the knot the horse to carry me back
when will all the bells ring at once to show me the way?
