Blood Goddess

 

Temple statues haunt you in your dreams

Someone dancing on her husband’s body

Scarlet blood drops drips from her tongue

A garland of severed heads hangs from her neck

 

Books re-write several of her origin stories

With the themes of celebration over darkness,

Change, renewal, and freedom from patriarchal values

The blood that make her a goddess 

Cycles out of us every month

The blood that stops you from visiting her temple
