The One Womb project started as a Words-To-Hands sculpture-poetry collaboration between myself and Margaret Synan-Russell in 2005. This project also includes a subset of poems known as The Goddess Vignettes, to which "lift the veil" belongs.
draft with feedback notes
lift the veil which covers me
monthly spilling
out of chaos
flesh and breath essences
of soil
and wind divinity,
primal prophetess
lift the veil
luminous passion and
perfect awareness
devi-shakti
present pulsing
a walking contrast
pelvic triangle misleads
religion
worship unnecessary when
we are connected
to our source
lunar bleeding
lift the veil
sacred yoni
guards
my temple
with a thirteen-notched-horn
and
a spine of mountains.
it covers me
song lines reach
across my body
sing duets with my soul
bore ra and earth
between thighs
who will plow my vulva?
garden mother lift
the veil which covers me
