outsider

deep freeze

a frozen psyche
conceived
in the deep
freeze
of a cold room

a womb room
full up with fear

wide awake

frost bite
slowly thaws
prickling painfully
burning stinging
wide awake
and frozen

frostbite

born again

A girl was born.
Again.
Last.
She was born into cold.
Of fear. Into darkness.
From death. From sacrifice
Of many.
Animal sacrifice.
Human sacrifice.
Blood. Loss. Longing.
She was born.

marked by death

in death and dying
up and down
dying
down
to death

death drags us
out of the body
then
up

out

towards light
