she is birthed nightly in writhing and crying
seeking nothing but upkeep to the precarious ledge and constant winds
her tip toes the point of contact
the world looks on in wanted wonder
afraid to reflect the desire down deep
like a shark that never sleeps
she slides through her sheets and skin
kinetic, pulsing, fluid, and divine
aphrodite come to the mountains, to the clefts of earth
kissing the sky creating clouds
she seeks an anchor
hephaestus and hammer
to smelt out her demons, her desires
the heat is cleansing
the blows dim the lightning
she seeks to sunder
to finish her maidenhood full of honey and hungry
to feel the grass and not sink into it
to be dipped into the cool water
and never thirst again.
