about

Poem asserting a feminine Creator as part of the Christian Trinity. The piece simultaneously juxtaposes patriarchal social constructs regarding femininity.

{ inspired by "Beginning of the World" by Constantin Brancusi }

lyrics

In beginning, She laid the foundations of the Earth.
Pillars of granite anchor four corners.
The delicate balance of man’s fragility.
Purity.
As weapon. As control.
As prison, as stake, as claim.
Wielded—for ownership over the egg.
If it’s turtles all the way down—
just another convenient way to neglect
that Life is carried on the backs of women.
Fairy-tale constructions—porcelain goddesses, shells, pedestals.
It’s shells and shells and shells and shells.
Seashells to make pretty, shelled peas to be useful,
shelled expectations for making good wives—because, even one, whom can find?
From the threads of our vessels, we weave new flesh
for beings to embody—
garments knitted through divine conjuring. Our placentas.
Only the Creator’s love is unconditional.
Such is real purity—used as pedestal, made into prison.
All who subscribe to this invented uprightness gain their mirrored praise
while yielding the base of their root power—the Source of Life’s origin.
