Goddess of Mars and all things desolate I chart desperate needs I measure hatred Alone in a death filled valley of despair Hot winds lift and spiral my hair I am not there I am the barest whisper My talons scrape the blue confines of heaven while dark constellations spin in fatal orbits I am not there - nor is infinity A Contest About a Goddess or God - Not THE God Contest Judged: 7/25/2020 12:38:00 AM Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger 3rd.

Desolation and darkness perfectly expressed, SuZ. I was really struck by your phrase "my talons scrape the blue." Congratulations on your winning placement.

Stark and terrifying. I loved the softness of "the barest whisper" juxtaposed with the sharpness of "my talons scrape."

"I am the barest whisper", you certainly weren't a whisper in this piece. Gripping end!
