Sculpting Aphrodite
Meheru Alsapure
Mother sculpt me beautiful, let all gods I desired
rot in hell
These words are bullets, self carved and
self destructive
these words thunder from the darkest pits of the sky
No one ached and tore apart flesh for this Aphrodite
Mother, nobody hears this siren sing
She rips apart her larynx
A mephistophelian bargain
for immortal beauty
Undying, Cloying and Murderous
The kind that pierces through time
Hear me, o ye gods of heaven. My body an open door to all blight to ever roam the treacherous night. I wish for only one.
Immortal beauty
Mother, the torrents won't deluge this psyche
The chasmic oceans have turned skin deep on my arrival
Even Poseidon latched his lychgate
Hear this Cytherea howl
in the cradle of her Cyprus.
Mother I wish not to live
I crave the moongleam of his scythe
His gelid skull and hollow eyes
I beg,
scathe this rotting clay
and mar these doe eyes.
