Untitled

God has dipped her brush in the ocean after painting the clouds

milk bath, ripcurls

curled tendrils, milk teeth

Oceanid Clymene is holding it all up

before the birth of Atlas

and the Birth of Venus

shows women come out of their shells naked

bodies are too real to show

unless it benefits the masses

pearls of wisdom

are calcified sediment

death of choice –

why are we roaming here

if not for celestial embodiment

to float in the sea during a storm

go against the current

wring ourselves out

and scream
