Kiss the shadow which frightens you awake as you turn the corners of your day,

Constant whisper and touch

mothers, with hair tangled
tighter than their theology
and breasts that flowed milk
and mystic wisdom. they

to wet the lips of their young.

lands, before these starched
traditions and pews too hard
to pray from, who bled true
ritual and birthed their own fierce
souls at creation's crowning -- — Beth Morey

O love, whose lordly hand
Has bridled my desires,
And raised my hunger and my thirst

And let my heart parch with thirst,
And let me die and perish,
Ere I stretch my hand

Or a bowl you did not bless. — Kahlil Gibran
