Stone Goddess

stone fur bone needles and flames that never die threads of precious sinew from my mother’s mother’s mother’s hide oh those sweet breasts once filled now marked by time still there to greet my shaggy beard and matted vine our breaths coalesce as the night flames soot the ancient stone with saber teeth and whooly mammoths flickered forms of far flung stars moon goddesses dancing round our pre-dawn loins she and she and she approached in shadow bore down with wet wisdom upon the prominence she was about to devour and with one cry released us all to heaven.
